Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else ... may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds.
J. R. R. TolkienWe don't want any adventures here! You might try over the Hill or Across the Water.
J. R. R. TolkienThese 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. TolkienWhy must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.
J. R. R. TolkienI go now to the halls of waiting to sit beside my fathers, until the world is renewed. Since I leave now all gold and silver, and go where it is of little worth, I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate. . . If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
J. R. R. Tolkien
