More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For nothing is evil in the beginning.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Praise from the praise-worthy is beyond all rewards.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaug the Chiefest and greatest of Calamities.
J. R. R. Tolkien
But to Sam the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven and as he looked at the grey sea he saw only a shadow in the waters that was soon lost in the West. There he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-Earth, and the sound of them sank deep into his heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked).
J. R. R. Tolkien
The chief purpose of life, for any of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Why must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.
J. R. R. Tolkien
He knew that all the hazards and perils were now drawing together to a point: the next day would be a day of doom, the day of final effort or disaster, the last gasp.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Often does hatred hurt itself.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Most English-speaking people, for instance, will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Yet seldom do they fail of their seed, And that will lie in the dust and rot to spring up again in times and places unlooked-for. The deeds of Men will outlast us.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And yet their wills did not yield, and they struggled on.
J. R. R. Tolkien
All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Erol and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We may stand, if only on one leg, or at least be left still upon our knees.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory
J. R. R. Tolkien
My 'Sam Gamgee' is indeed a reflexion of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognised as so far superior to myself.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien
