"But you speak of Master Gandalf, as..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“I'm in a position where it doesn't matter what people think of me now.”

“No taste of food, no feel of water, no sound of wind, no memory of tree or grass or flower, no image of moon or star are left to me. I am naked in the dark, Sam, and there is no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I begin to see it even with my waking eyes, and all else fades.”

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.”

“All stories, if continued far enough, end in death.”

“Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are in which the ending is a surprise.”

“That's what the leadership was teaching me, day by day: that the self-interest I was supposed to be looking for extended well beyond the immediacy of issues, that beneath the small talk and sketchy biographies and received opinions, people carried with them some central explanation of themselves. Stories full of terror and wonder, studded with events that still haunted or inspired them. Sacred stories.”

“If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.”

“I know, although when looks meetI tremble to the bone,The more I leave the door unlatchedThe sooner love is gone.”

“Once I passed through a populous city imprinting my brain for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions, Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I Casually met there who detained me for love of me, Day by day and night by night we were together—all else Has long been forgotten by me, I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung To me, Again we wander, we love, we separate again, Again she holds me by the hand, I must not go, I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous.”
