More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Things will go as they will, and there is no need to hurry to meet them.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There are many things in the deep waters and seas and lands may change. And it is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few lives of Men, or for a passing age of the world. We should seek a final end of this menace, even if we do not hope to make one.
J. R. R. Tolkien
These folk are hewers of trees and hunters of beasts therefore we are their unfriends, and if they will not depart we shall afflict them in all ways that we can. -- The Silmarllion, JRR Tolkien
J. R. R. Tolkien
Far more often [than asking the question 'Is it true?'] they [children] have asked me: 'Was he good? Was he wicked?' That is, they were far more concerned to get the Right side and the Wrong side clear. For that is a question equally important in History and in Faerie.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Elrond's house was perfect, whether you liked food or sleep or story-telling or singing (or reading), or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness. ... Evil things did not come into the secret valley of Rivendell.
J. R. R. Tolkien
No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me. I am naked in the dark, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Tall ships and tall kings Three times three, What brought they from the foundered land Over the flowing sea? Seven stars and seven stones And one white tree. (The Two Towers)
J. R. R. Tolkien
And it is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few lives of Men, or for a passing age of the world.
J. R. R. Tolkien
But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And now leave me in peace for a bit! I don't want to answer a string of questions while I am eating. I want to think! Good Heavens! said Pippin. At breakfast?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Over hill and under hill
J. R. R. Tolkien
Over the field rang his clear voice calling: ‘Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall
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
Few there were who could change his courses by counsel. None by force.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep for not all tears are an evil.
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
Let the unseen days be. Today is more than enough.
