Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. TOLKIENDeserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThe wise speak only of what they know
J. R. R. TOLKIENAnd then her heart changed, or at least she understood it; and the winter passed, and the sun shone upon her.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThere is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.
J. R. R. TOLKIENHe found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThe whole thing is quite hopeless, so it’s no good worrying about tomorrow. It probably won’t come.
J. R. R. TOLKIENI feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
J. R. R. TOLKIENSo comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.
J. R. R. TOLKIENVoiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters.
J. R. R. TOLKIENWhere there’s life there’s hope, and need of vittles.
J. R. R. TOLKIENHis grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.
J. R. R. TOLKIENMay the hair on your toes never fall out!
J. R. R. TOLKIENNo Victory Without Suffering
J. R. R. TOLKIENI am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me.
J. R. R. TOLKIENHe that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.
J. R. R. TOLKIENIn this hour, I do not believe that any darkness will endure.
J. R. R. TOLKIEN
