More quotes by 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
If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honour from me. And I marvel at you: to keep it hid and not to use it. You are a new people and a new world to me. Are all your kin of like sort? Your land must be a realm of peace and content, and there must gardners be in high hounour.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The wise speak only of what they know
J. R. R. Tolkien
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?
J. R. R. Tolkien
O! Where are you going With beards all a-wagging? No knowing, no knowing What brings Mister Baggins, And Balin and Dwalin down into the valley in June ha! ha!
J. R. R. Tolkien
If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It matters little who is the enemy, if we cannot beat off his attack.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It was at this point that Bilbo stopped. Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I am dreading the publication, for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Over the field rang his clear voice calling: ‘Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!
J. R. R. Tolkien
A friend of mine tells that I talk in shorthand and then smudge it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
But to Sam the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven and as he looked at the grey sea he saw only a shadow in the waters that was soon lost in the West. There he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-Earth, and the sound of them sank deep into his heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fire, fear, foes! Awake!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Living by faith includes the call to something greater than cowardly self-preservation.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Orcs, and talking trees, and leagues of grass, and galloping riders, and glittering caves, and white towers and golden halls, and battles, and tall ships sailing, all these passed before Sam's mind.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Middle-earth is our world. I have (of course) placed the action in a purely imaginary (though not wholly impossible) period of antiquity, in which the shape of the continental masses was different.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Many are the strange chances of the world, and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Why must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Hobbits delighted in such things, if they were accurate they liked to have books filled with things that they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions.
J. R. R. Tolkien
