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!

More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
Valour needs first strength, then a weapon.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Such is of 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 is plain that we were meant to go together.
J. R. R. Tolkien
May the hair on your toes never fall out!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fire, fear, foes! Awake!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked).
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is wisdom to recognize necessity when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.
J. R. R. Tolkien
After some while Bilbo became impatient. Well, what is it? he said. The answer's not a kettle boiling over, as you seem to think by the noise you are making.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.
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
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn!
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
The War is not over (and the one that is, or the part of it, has been largely lost). But it is of course wrong to fall into such a mood, for Wars are always lost, and War always goes on and it is no good growing faint.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I have no help to send, therefore I must go myself.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall
J. R. R. Tolkien
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
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
Here ends the SILMARILLION. If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Such bees! Bilbo had never seen anything like them. If one were to sting me, He thought I should swell up as big as I am!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I do not believe this darkness will endure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
