More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master.
J. R. R. Tolkien
This of course is the way to talk to dragons, if you don't want to reveal your proper name which is wise, and don't want to infuriate them by a flat refusal which is also very wise. No dragon can resist the fascination of riddling talk and of wasting time to trying to understand it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
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
Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Better mistrust undeserved than rash words.
J. R. R. Tolkien
One has personally to come under the shadow of war to feel fully its oppression but as the years go by it seems now often forgotten that to be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than to be involved in 1939 and the following years. By 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to
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
We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.
J. R. R. Tolkien
With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only and in that deed his heart shall rest.
J. R. R. Tolkien
His grief he will not forget but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do not spoil the wonder with haste!
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
Adventures are not all pony-rides in May-sunshine.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
J. R. R. Tolkien
