“Not all those who wander are lost.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.”
― J.R.R Tolkien

“Have you thought of an ending?"
"Yes, several, and all are dark and unpleasant."
"Oh, that won't do! Books ought to have good endings. How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?"
"It will do well, if it ever came to that."
"Ah! And where will they live? That's what I often wonder.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Books ought to have good endings.How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I don't think I know your name.'
'Yes, yes my dear sir and I do know your name Mr. Bilbo Baggins. And you do know my name, though you don't remember that I belong to it. I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

“El camino sigue y sigue
desde la puerta.
El camino ha ido muy lejos,
y que otros lo sigan si pueden.
Que ellos emprendan un nuevo viaje,
pero yo al fin con pies fatigados
me volveré a la taberna iluminada,
al encuentro del sueño y el reposo.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“After some while Bilbo became impatient. "Well, what is it?" he said. "The answer's not a kettle boiling over, as you seem to think by the noise you are making.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“All your long years we have been friends. Trust me as you once did, let it go”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“You take after Bilbo,' said Gandalf. 'There is more about you than meets the eye, as I said of him long ago.' Frodo wondered if the remark meant more than it said”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The lesson is this: When the road gets dark and all hope seems lost, there's nothing to do but keep going. We, like Bilbo, must keep up our "hobbitry in heart." Even more important, as people of faith, we recognize that we are not alone. Whatever happens from this point on, we put our trust in God. And we go on.”
― Sarah Arthur, Walking with Bilbo: A Devotional Adventure through the Hobbit

“The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“Like Gandalf, God knows the battle going on inside our hobbitlike selves, the wrestling match between the Baggins and the Took. The Baggins side of us takes our creature comforts for granted. We assume these comforts are part of the terms and conditions outlined in the job description Jesus offers when he says, "Follow me." But God never said anything about discipleship being comfortable. He's more interested in coaxing the Took side of us to the fore, the side that's willing to endure a little hardship for the sake of the final destination. When we learn to live without, we discover what we're really made of.”
― Sarah Arthur, Walking with Bilbo: A Devotional Adventure through the Hobbit

“I am he that walks unseen.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Bilbo smiled and laughed happily.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“Si addormentò subito profondamente, dimenticando tutte le sue preoccupazioni fino al mattino. Per la precisione sognò pane, burro e marmellata.”
― J. R. R. Tolkien - Lo Hobbit

“I have it under pretty good authority that Peter Jackson is familiar with this book, and is currently preparing not one, not two, not three, not four, but over a hundred separate movies based on the characters in the Silmarillion”
― Gregg Turkington

“Addio, buon ladroâ€� egli disse. “Io vado ora nelle sale di attesa a sedermi accanto ai miei padri, finché il mondo non sia rinnovato. Poiché ora l’oro e l’argento abbandono, e mi reco là dove essi non hanno valore, desidero separarmi da te in amicizia, e ritrattare quello che ho detto e fatto alla Portaâ€�. Bilbo piegò un ginocchio a terra, pieno di dolore. “Addio, Re sotto la Montagna!â€� egli disse. “Amara è stata la nostra avventura, se doveva finire così; e nemmeno una montagna d’oro può essere un adeguato compenso. Tuttavia sono felice di aver condiviso i tuoi pericoli: questo è stato più di quanto un Baggins possa meritareâ€�. “No!â€� disse Thorin. “In te c’Ã� più di quanto tu non sappia, figlio dell’Occidente cortese. Coraggio e saggezza, in giusta misura mischiati. Se un maggior numero di noi stimasse cibo, allegria e canzoni al di sopra dei tesori d’oro, questo sarebbe un mondo più lieto. Ma triste o lieto, ora debbo lasciarlo. Addio!â€�. Allora Bilbo si allontanò, e se ne andò in disparte; tutto solo si sedette avvolto in una coperta e, lo crediate o no, pianse finché i suoi occhi non furono rossi e roca la voceâ€�.”
