Over hill and under hill
J. R. R. Tolkien
Better mistrust undeserved than rash words.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Green are the leaves I leave in Mirkwood.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And yet their wills did not yield, and they struggled on.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory
J. R. R. Tolkien
Adventures are not all pony-rides in May-sunshine.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I wish it need not have happened in my time, said Frodo. So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something.
J. R. R. Tolkien
True education is a kind of never ending story — a matter of continual beginnings, of habitual fresh starts, of persistent newness.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Slight changes simply make a blur.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Far, far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things.
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
Memory is not what the heart desires. That is only a mirror, be it clear as Kheled-zaram. Or so says the heart of Gimli the Dwarf.
J. R. R. Tolkien
False hopes are more dangerous than fears.
J. R. R. Tolkien
No language is justly studied merely as an aid to other purposes. It will in fact better serve other purposes, philological or historical, when it is studied for love, for itself.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I do not believe this darkness will endure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
On their deathbed men will speak true, they say.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And what would you do, if an uninvited dwarf came and hung his things up in your hall without a word of explanation?
J. R. R. Tolkien
