More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
In life there can be no victor, for death comes to all and smites them.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
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. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To bring him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And don't mention Frodo or the ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. In fact, it's best if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.
J.R.R. Tolkien
It needs more to make a king than a piece of elvish glass, or a rabble such as this.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Grey as a mouse,Big as a house,Nose like a snake,I make the earth shake,As I tramp through the grassTrees crack as I pass.With horns in my mouthI walk in the South,Flapping big ears.Beyond count of yearsI stump round and round,Never lie on the ground,Not even to die.Oliphaunt am I,Biggest of all,Huge, old, and tall.If ever youd met meYou wouldnt forget me.If you never do,You wont think Im trueBut Oliphaunt am I,And I never lie.
J.R.R. Tolkien
