"I will not say, do not weep,..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“I have an unsatisfied desire to shoot well with a bow.”

“The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled! Though sword shall be rusted, And throne and crown perish With strength that men trusted And wealth that they cherish, Here grass is still growing, And leaves are yet swinging, The white water flowing, And elves are yet singing Come! Tra-la-la-lally! Come back to the valley!”

“Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

“The will to overcome an emotion, is ultimately only the will of another, or of several other, emotions.”

“The passions often engender their contraries.”

“How slow and still the time did drag along.”

“She was a ghost in a strange house that overnight had become immense and solitary and through which she wandered without purpose, asking herself in anguish which one of them was deader: the man who had died or the woman he had left behind.”

“Would I were dead, if God's good will were so,For what is in this world but grief and woe?”

“Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.”
