The doom lies in yourself, not in your name.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The war made me poignantly aware of the beauty of the world.
J. R. R. Tolkien
deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us but they are gone.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Far over misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold.
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I am not a 'democrat' only because 'humility' and equality are spiritual principles corrupted by the attempt to mechanize and formalize them, with the result that we get not universal smallness and humility, but universal greatness and pride, till some Orc gets hold of a ring of power--and then we get and are getting slavery.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Such bees! Bilbo had never seen anything like them. If one were to sting me, He thought I should swell up as big as I am!
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Where iss it, where iss it: my Precious, my Precious? It's ours, it is, and we wants it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
