More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves.
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
I will not walk backward in life.
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
Things are drawing towards the end now, unless I am mistaken. There is an unpleasant time just in front of you but keep your heart up!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Speak politely to an enraged dragon.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall
J. R. R. Tolkien
Lazy Lob and crazy Cob are weaving webs to wind me. I am far more sweet than other meat, but still they cannot find me! Here am I, naughty little fly you are fat and lazy. You cannot trap me, though you try, in your cobwebs crazy.
J. R. R. Tolkien
But do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin?' said Sam, sheathing his sword. 'Wolves won't get him. That was an eye-opener, and no mistake! Nearly singed the hair off my head!
J. R. R. Tolkien
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills, It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked).
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
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
There is no ship now that can bear me hence
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 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
All my own small perception of beauty both in majesty and simplicity is founded.
J. R. R. Tolkien
After some time he felt for his pipe. It was not broken, and that was something. Then he felt for his pouch, and there was some tobacco in it, and that was something more. Then he felt for matches and he could not find any at all, and that shattered his hopes completely.
J. R. R. Tolkien
