More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.
J. R. R. Tolkien
This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers Gnaws iron, bites steel Grinds hard stones to meal Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The doom lies in yourself, not in your name.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on on the story.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I will not walk backward in life.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Gandalf: Three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Books ought to have good endings.How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.
J. R. R. Tolkien
