More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
My own dear mother was a martyr indeed, and it is not to everybody that God grants so easy a way to his great gifts as he did to Hilary and myself, giving us a mother who killed herself with labour and trouble to ensure us keeping the faith.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing into the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
J. R. R. Tolkien
The war made me poignantly aware of the beauty of the world.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy (in this sense) is, I think, not a lower but a higher form of Art, indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when achieved) the most potent.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fire, fear, foes! Awake!
J. R. R. Tolkien
We may indeed in counsel point to the higher road, but we cannot compel any free creature to walk upon it. That leadeth to tyranny, which disfigureth good and maketh it seem hateful.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker.
J. R. R. Tolkien
This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to
J. R. R. Tolkien
There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
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
Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep for not all tears are an evil.
J. R. R. Tolkien
But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.
J. R. R. Tolkien
How could such a large door be kept secret from everybody outside, apart from the dragon? [Bilbo] asked. He was only a little hobbit you must remember.
J. R. R. Tolkien
