"Home is now behind you, the world..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“True education is a kind of never-ending story . . .”

“I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril.”

“We may indeed in counsel point to the higher road, but we cannot compel any free creature to walk upon it. That leadeth to tyranny, which disfigureth good and maketh it seem hateful.”

“It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.”

“If you travel alone, you can probably go faster. But the journey will never be as rewarding, and you probably won't be able to go as far.”

“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”

“I was looking for something to love, for I was in love with loving, and I hated security and a smooth way, free from snares.”

“his old life lay behind in the mists, dark adventure lay in front.”

“This must be a simply enormous wardrobe!”
