Fifteen birds in five firtrees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot fry them, boil them and eat them hot?
J. R. R. Tolkien
And yet their wills did not yield, and they struggled on.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You cannot pass, he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Pay heed to the tales of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.
J. R. R. Tolkien
