More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
I've always been impressed that we are here, surviving, because of the indomitable courage of quite small people against impossible odds.
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
O! Where are you going With beards all a-wagging? No knowing, no knowing What brings Mister Baggins, And Balin and Dwalin down into the valley in June ha! ha!
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
You aren't nearly through this adventure yet.
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
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
Tears unnumbered ye shall shed.
J. R. R. Tolkien
If we all got angry together something might be done.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Tomorrow we may come this way, And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun
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
