Quotes by Corey Olsen (?)

“Tempus edax rerum, usually translated “Time devours all things.”
― Corey Olsen, Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit

“Thorin attempts to cloak his cowardice in formal language, carefully explaining that Mr Baggins is ‘still officially their expert burglar and investigator’. He can use his own judgement in his professional capacity and, meanwhile, Thorin and the dwarves will fearlessly ‘wait in the tunnel for his report’.”
― Corey Olsen, Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit

“Only in Chapter Three do we learn how extraordinary their luck has actually been. When Elrond reads the runes on the swords, he is able to tell them that they are not only ‘very old swords’ and powerful, but they are ‘very famous’ blades. They have names, Orcrist and Glamdring, and the latter of these actually belonged to the kind of the ancient elven city of Gondolin. This would be rather like going on vacation to India and finding in a village marketplace a sword that belonged to Alexander the Great. The odds against it are pretty staggering.”
― Corey Olsen, Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit
