Additional quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!

The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.

If by my life or death I can protect you, I will.
