J. R. R. Tolkien
That was Thorin's style. He was an important dwarf. If he had been allowed, he would probably have gone on like this until he was out of breath, without telling anyone there anything that was not known already. But he was rudely interrupted.
J. R. R. Tolkien
please don't cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean.
J. R. R. Tolkien
With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter!
J. R. R. Tolkien
His love for Frodo rose above all other thoughts, and forgetting his peril he cried aloud: 'I'm coming Mr. Frodo!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
