There is a wildness in the way the mind wants to unravel stories.

Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.

We all have light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.

Courage is found in unlikely places.
