More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
I invented that little rhyme about 'One Ring to rule them all', I remember, in the bath one day.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on for the Third Age was over and the Days of the Rings were passed and an end was come of the story and song of those times.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Hobbits delighted in such things, if they were accurate they liked to have books filled with things that they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fire, fear, foes! Awake!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and of people who will see a world that I shall never know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For victory is victory, however small, nor is its worth only from what follows from it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Thank you, Sam, he said in a cracked whisper. How far is there to go? I don't know, said Sam, because I don't know where we're going.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me. I am naked in the dark, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Over the field rang his clear voice calling: ‘Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Far over misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold.
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
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills, It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And what do you wish?' he said at last. 'That what should be shall be,' she answered.
