“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“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.”

Polls
Opinion may be divided as to whether Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy does a good job of interpreting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork, but how many of us in the group found Tolkien as a result of watching those films?
