More quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien
Frodo drew himself up, and again Sam was startled by his words and his stern voice. 'On the Precious? How dare you?' he said. 'Think! Would you commit your promise to that, Smeagol? It will hold you. But it is more treacherous than you are. It may twist your words. Beware!
J. R. R. Tolkien
All have their worth and each contributes to the worth of the others.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Speak no evil of the Lady Galadriel! said Aragorn sternly. You know not what you say. There is in her and in this land, no evil, unless a man bring it hither himself. Then let him beware!
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Never laugh at live dragons.
J. R. R. Tolkien
On their deathbed men will speak true, they say.
J. R. R. Tolkien
No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me. I am naked in the dark, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades.
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 don't know half of you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Your lullaby would waken a drunken goblin!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Fire, fear, foes! Awake!
J. R. R. Tolkien
For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.
J. R. R. Tolkien
He [Bilbo] fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There was a willow hanging over the mill-pool and I learned to climb it. It belonged to a butcher on the Stratford Road, I think. One day they cut it down. They didn't do anything with it: the log just lay there. I never forgot that.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Of all the things that men may heed 'Tis most of love they sing indeed.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I wish life was not so short. Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You cannot pass, he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.
J. R. R. Tolkien
