“I manage.” The witcher looked him straight in the eyes. “I manage because I have to. Because I’ve no other way out. Because I’ve overcome the vanity and pride of being different. I’ve understood that they are a pitiful defense against ...more

“There are other forces at work in this world besides the will of evil.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

“A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid,"

He asked to gain time, until he could think of a really hard one. This he thought a dreadfully easy chestnut, though he had not asked it in the usual words. But it proved a nasty poser for Gollum. He hissed to himself, and still he did not answer; he whispered and spluttered.
After some while Bilbo became impatient. "Well, what is it?" He asked. "The answers not a kettle boiling over, as you seem to think from the noise you are making.”
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

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

“In the meantime, I hope you will find your place, wherever you are. Even in the silence, I hope you will find the words you need to share.”
Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Hail Thorin!" Gandalf said as he entered. "I have brought him." 
There indeed lay Thorin Oakenshield, wounded with many wounds, and his rent armor and notched axe were cast upon the floor. He looked up as Bilbo came beside him. "Farewell, good thief." He said. "I go now to the halls of 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." 
Bilbo knelt on one knee filled with sorrow. "Farewell, King under the Mountain!" He said. "This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; and not a mountain of gold can amend it. Yet I am glad that I have shared in your perils-that has been more than any Baggins deserves.
"No!" Said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!" ”
J.R.R.Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
