It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.

A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

There are no men like me. There’s only me.

Fear cuts deeper than swords.

A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.

We read to know that we are not alone.

No cause is lost so long as one fool remains to fight for it.

Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

It is important to fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
