The wise speak only of what they know
J. R. R. Tolkien
Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea -any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!

J. R. R. Tolkien
The Resurrection was the greatest ‘eucatastrophe’ possible in the greatest Fairy Story — and produces that essential emotion: Christian joy which produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked).
J. R. R. Tolkien
And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool! he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb. You aren't nearly through this adventure yet, he added, and that was pretty true as well.
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
Your time may come. Do not be too sad, Sam. You cannot be always torn in two. You will have to be one and whole, for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.
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
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and of people who will see a world that I shall never know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honour from me. And I marvel at you: to keep it hid and not to use it. You are a new people and a new world to me. Are all your kin of like sort? Your land must be a realm of peace and content, and there must gardners be in high hounour.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Why must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?
J. R. R. Tolkien
