Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass!

J. R. R. Tolkien
I want to be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Lazy Lob and crazy Cob are weaving webs to wind me. I am far more sweet than other meat, but still they cannot find me! Here am I, naughty little fly you are fat and lazy. You cannot trap me, though you try, in your cobwebs crazy.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The only just literary critic, he concluded, is Christ, who admires more than does any man the gifts He Himself has bestowed.
J. R. R. Tolkien
If you're going to have a complicated story you must work to a map otherwise you'll never make a map of it afterwards.
J. R. R. Tolkien
His grief he will not forget but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
J. R. R. Tolkien
