More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
I am not a 'democrat' only because 'humility' and equality are spiritual principles corrupted by the attempt to mechanize and formalize them, with the result that we get not universal smallness and humility, but universal greatness and pride, till some Orc gets hold of a ring of power--and then we get and are getting slavery.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Seek for the Sword that was broken In Imladris it dwells There shall be counsels taken Stronger than Morgul-spells. There shall be shown a token That Doom is near at hand, For Isuldur's Bane shall waken, And the halfling forth shall stand.
J. R. R. Tolkien
After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth'.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't leave me here alone! It's your Sam calling. Don't go where I can't follow! Wake up, Mr. Frodo!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For myself, I find I become less cynical rather than more--remembering my own sins and follies and realize that men's hearts are not often as bad as their acts, and very seldom as bad as their words.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We don't want any adventures here! You might try over the Hill or Across the Water.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You have nice manners for a thief and a liar, said the dragon.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Their 'magic' is Art, delivered from many of its human limitations.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not or that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here too after all the absurd things you've done since you left home.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There is no ship now that can bear me hence
J. R. R. Tolkien
But do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Though here at journey's end I lie In darkness buried deep, Beyond all towers strong and high, Beyond all mountains steep, Above all shadows rides the Sun And Stars for ever dwell: I will not say the Day is done, Nor bid the Stars farewell.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Little by little, one travels far
J. R. R. Tolkien
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Elrond's house was perfect, whether you liked food or sleep or story-telling or singing (or reading), or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness. ... Evil things did not come into the secret valley of Rivendell.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master.
J. R. R. Tolkien
