Additional quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien

Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat...giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.

I do so dearly believe that no half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.

Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.
