More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Venice seemed incredibly lovely, elvishly lovely--to me like a dream of Old Gondor, or Pelargir of the Numenorean Ships, before the return of the Shadow.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not or that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on?
J. R. R. Tolkien
It [discovering Finnish] was like discovering a wine-cellar filled with bottles of amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me.
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
I will not walk backward in life.
J. R. R. Tolkien
My Precious, my Precious.

J. R. R. Tolkien
The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow- an Elf!
J. R. R. Tolkien
The chief purpose of life, for any of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For victory is victory, however small, nor is its worth only from what follows from it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects the generally small reach of their imagination - not the small reach of their courage or latent power.
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
I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to
J. R. R. Tolkien
Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Praise from the praise-worthy is beyond all rewards.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes. Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Nazgul they were the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terribly servants darkness went with them and they cried with the voices of death.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
