"Time doesn't seem to pass here: it..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“Are you in pain, Frodo?' said Gandalf quietly as he rode by Frodo's side. 'Well, yes I am,' said Frodo. 'It is my shoulder. The wound aches, and the memory of darkness is heavy on me. It was a year ago today.' 'Alas! there are some wounds that cannot be wholly cured,' said Gandalf. 'I fear it may be so with mine,' said Frodo. 'There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?' Gandalf did not answer.”

“A few melancholy birds were pipping and wailing, until the round red sun sank slowly into the western shadows; then an empty silence fell”

“I knew that danger lay ahead, of course; but I did not expect to meet it in our own Shire. Can't a hobbit walk from the Water to the River in peace?" "But it is not your own Shire," said Gildor. "Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.”

“I know not whether Laws be right,Or whether Laws be wrong;All that we know who be in jailIs that the wall is strong;And that each day is like a year,A year whose days are long.”

“Setting goals helps bring your future into your present and the present is the only time we can take action.”

“I went for a walk last night and she asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said, 'The whole time.”

“Memory is an illusion, nothing more. It is a fire that needs constant tending.”

“The melancholy have the best sense of the comic, the opulent often the best sense of the rustic, the dissolute often the best sense of the moral, and the doubter often the best sense of the religious.”

“So far as my experience goes, travelers generally exaggerate the difficulties of the way. Like most evil, the difficulty is imaginary; for what's the hurry?”
