May the hair on your toes never fall out!
J. R. R. Tolkien
What does your heart tell you?
J. R. R. Tolkien
You aren't nearly through this adventure yet.
J. R. R. Tolkien
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on for the Third Age was over and the Days of the Rings were passed and an end was come of the story and song of those times.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.
J. R. R. Tolkien
deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us but they are gone.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You have to understand the good in things, to detect the real evil.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Speak, or I will put a dint in your hat that even a wizard will find hard to deal with!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For nothing is evil in the beginning.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Go back? he thought. No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go! So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Don't go where I can't follow!
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
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
Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall. We must away ere the break of day. Far over wood and mountain tall.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaug the Chiefest and greatest of Calamities.
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
I am wholly in favour of 'dull stodges'. A surprising large proportion prove 'educable': for which a primary qualification is the willingness to do work.
J. R. R. Tolkien
