J. R. R. Tolkien
I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.

Such is of the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I don't know, and I would rather not guess.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.
J. R. R. Tolkien

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
Few there were who could change his courses by counsel. None by force.
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
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Living by faith includes the call to something greater than cowardly self-preservation.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And the Ring is so heavy, Sam. I begin to see it in my mind all the time, like a great wheel of fire.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The War is not over (and the one that is, or the part of it, has been largely lost). But it is of course wrong to fall into such a mood, for Wars are always lost, and War always goes on and it is no good growing faint.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation - This story begins and ends in joy.
J. R. R. Tolkien
