More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs).
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
The only just literary critic, he concluded, is Christ, who admires more than does any man the gifts He Himself has bestowed.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You have nice manners for a thief and a liar, said the dragon.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I've always been impressed that we are here, surviving, because of the indomitable courage of quite small people against impossible odds.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Many are the strange chances of the world, and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It matters little who is the enemy, if we cannot beat off his attack.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is plain that we were meant to go together.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on on the story.
J. R. R. Tolkien
