I have chosen Mr Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself.

There is a place called ‘heaven’ where the good here unfinished is completed; and where the stories unwritten, and the hopes unfulfilled, are continued. We may laugh together yet.

The wise speak only of what they know, Gríma son of Gálmód. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy words with a serving-man till the lightning falls.' There was a roll of thunder. The sunlight became blotted out from the eastern windows; the whole hall became suddenly dark as night. The fire faded to sullen embers. Only Gandalf could be seen, standing white and tall before the blackened hearth.

Go to quote


Sam looked at his master with approval, but also with surprise: there was a look in his face and a tone in his voice that he had not known before. It had always been a notion of his that the kindness of dear Mr. Frodo was of such a high degree that it must imply a fair measure of blindness. Of course, he also firmly held the incompatible belief that Mr. Frodo was the wisest person in the world (with the possible exception of Old Mr. Bilbo and of Gandalf).

Go to quote


Sihri' tutarlı bir biçimde kullanmadım; Elf kraliçesi Galadriel hikayede, bu sözcüğü, Düşman'ın da Elflerin de hem araçları hem de harekatı hakkında kullanan kafası karışık Hobbit'lere serzenişte bulunmakta haklı. bu benim için geçerli değil, çünkü ikincisinin karşılığı olan bir sözcük yok. Fakat Elfler burada farkı ortaya koyuyorlar. Onların 'sihri' insanın sınırlılıklarından kurtulduğu Sanat: çok daha az çabayla, daha hızlı, daha karmaşık. Ve bu edimlerinin nesnesi Güç değil Sanat, Yaratının tahakküm altına alınması değil, alt-yaratıdır.

Go to quote


Kafaları verilerle dolu, ayakta duran ilerlemeci maymunlarla birlikte yürümeyeceğim. Koşularının yöneldiği uçurum apaçık önlerinde durmaktadır, eğer, kısır ve anlamsız yoluna usanmadan başka isimlerle devam etmek yerine, Tanrı’ya şükür, ilerleme bir gün sona erecekse. Tozlu düz yolunuzda yürümeyeceğim ve yaratıcı sanatıyla hiçbir ilgisi olmayan siz küçük yaratıcıların o değişmez dünyasına sırtımı döneceğim. Ne Demir Taç önünde eğileceğim henüz ne de kıracağım küçük altın asamı...

Tell me, Legolas, why did I come on this Quest? Little did I know where the chief peril lay! Truly Elrond spoke, saying that we could not foresee what we might meet upon our road. Torment in the dark was the danger that I feared, and it did not hold me back. But I would have never come, had I known the danger of light and joy.

It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues, yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous...I do not foretell, for all foretelling is now vain: on the one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope. But if hope should not fail, then I say to you, Gimli son of Glóin, that your hands shall flow with gold, and yet over you gold shall have no dominion.

We're going on a bit too fast. You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: "Shut the book now, dad; we don't want to read any more.
