Additional quotes by J. R. R. Tolkien

So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
