J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes


All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king - J.R.R. Tolkien

"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” ~J.R.R. Tolkien

"I am at home among the trees." ~JRR Tolkien

“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?” ~J.R.R. Tolkien


"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

From The Hobbit by J. R. Tolkein

"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

"The wise speak only of what they know." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” ~J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
~J.R.R. Tolkien

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” |J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

OTHERS

"Some believe it is only the GREAT POWER that can hold the evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." ~Gandalf
