More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
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
Pay heed to the tales of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We are plain quiet folk, and I have no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, and uncomfortable things.
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
Tomorrow we may come this way, And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun
J. R. R. Tolkien
Wraiths! Wraiths on wings!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
J. R. R. Tolkien
My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Let the unseen days be. Today is more than enough.
J. R. R. Tolkien
He stands not alone. You would die before your stroke fell.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You have nice manners for a thief and a liar, said the dragon.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You cannot pass, he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Look, up at the sky. There is a light, a beauty up there, that no shadow can touch
J. R. R. Tolkien
he was for long my only audience... Only from him did I ever get the idea that my ‘stuff’ could be more than a private hobby. But for his interest and unceasing eagerness for more I should never have brought The L. of the R. to a conclusion.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't dip your beard in the foam, Father! They cried to Thorin. It is long enough without watering it!
J. R. R. Tolkien
The greater part of the truth is always hidden, in regions out of the reach of cynicism.
J. R. R. Tolkien
