More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet it is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: Small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It matters little who is the enemy, if we cannot beat off his attack.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Goodbye, master, my dear! Forgive your Sam. He'll come back to this spot when the job's done - if he manages it. And then he'll not leave you again. Rest you quiet till I come and may no foul creature come anigh you! And if the Lady could hear me and give me one wish, I would wish to come back and find you again. Good bye!
J. R. R. Tolkien
We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For you do not yet know the strengths of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet on the road.
J. R. R. Tolkien
deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us but they are gone.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Let him go, you filth! Let him go! You will not touch him again!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Over hill and under hill
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Nazgul they were the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terribly servants darkness went with them and they cried with the voices of death.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And now leave me in peace for a bit! I don't want to answer a string of questions while I am eating. I want to think! Good Heavens! said Pippin. At breakfast?
J. R. R. Tolkien
He was as noble and fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin.
J. R. R. Tolkien
My dear Frodo!’ exclaimed Gandalf. ‘Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The world has changed. I see it in the water. I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, For none now live who remember it.
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
He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then she fell on her knees, saying: 'I beg thee!' 'Nay, lady,' he said, and taking her by the hand he raised her. The he kissed her hand, and sprang into the saddle, and rode away, and did not look back and only those who knew him well and were near to him saw the pain that he bore.
J. R. R. Tolkien
