"I decided to read Tolkien's letters after a third failed attempt at getting through the Silmarillion, and it was the right move. I am not even halfway through the collection of letters but they've already offered a fascinatingly human and brilliant insight into the machinations of the world of Middle Earth. I also feel they will make me a more-informed reader of the Silmarillion if I were to delve so deep again." — May 18, 2023 06:59AM

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
