J.R.R. Tolkien
“A divine 'punishment’ is also a divine 'gift’, if accepted, since its object is ultimate blessing, and the supreme inventiveness of the Creator will make 'punishments’ (that is changes of design) produce a good not otherwise to be attained”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The romantic chivalric tradition takes, or at any rate has in the past taken, the young man's eye off women as they are, as companions in shipwreck not guiding stars.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The news today about "Atomic bombs" is so horrifying one is stunned. The utter folly of these lunatic physicists to consent to do such work for war-purposes: calmly plotting the destruction of the world! Such explosives in men's hands, while their moral and intellectual status is declining, is about as useful as giving out firearms to all inmates of a gaol and then saying that you hope "this will ensure peace" . . . Well we're in God's hands. And He does not look kindly on Babel-builders. (letter 102)”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
“We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature at its best and least corrupted, its gentlest and most human, is still soaked with the sense of exile.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

Christopher Hitchens
“Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. The grave will supply plenty of time for silence.”
Christopher Hitchens
