Quotes:
- If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
- The Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects the generally small reach of their imagination.
- All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.
- Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
- Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible, and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works...
