More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
His love for Frodo rose above all other thoughts, and forgetting his peril he cried aloud: 'I'm coming Mr. Frodo!
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
For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And it is not always good to be healed in body. Nor is it always evil to die in battle, even in bitter pain. Were I permitted, in this dark hour I would choose the latter.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing into the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien
And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.
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
Pay heed to the tales of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We may stand, if only on one leg, or at least be left still upon our knees.
J. R. R. Tolkien
And yet their wills did not yield, and they struggled on.
J. R. R. Tolkien
False hopes are more dangerous than fears.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut.
J. R. R. Tolkien
If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.
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
Don't put a lump of rock under my elbow again!
J. R. R. Tolkien
In doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For myself, I find I become less cynical rather than more--remembering my own sins and follies and realize that men's hearts are not often as bad as their acts, and very seldom as bad as their words.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I don't know, and I would rather not guess.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker.
J. R. R. Tolkien
