“She barely understood the words or the story she told. But she felt the power and glory in the music and she knew, she believed, if she let the music carry her like the wings of a bird on the wind, it would take her away to another place. A good and happy place. A place she wanted to be.”

“The world is slowly fading;
The paint is turning grey.
As the canvas frays around us,
All we can do is pray.
The picture will be repainted
With a paint that does not fade.
The day is soon in coming
When the picture will be remade.”

(?)
“I belive the world will burn into ashes, same as your house and your dreams ... The least I can do .. is to try to stop poor fools from burning along with it. And that doesn't happen by law. Law can threaten us with the punishment it likes, but the heart loves to break rules and risk consequence. Therefore, the change we want must be within the heart itself."
"That doesn't work," [He] muttered .. "you can't change the heart."
"I won't deny that," Errance said with a small sigh. "Only God can do that,”

“Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
more fair than Mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled;
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this―
the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea―
that Lúthien for a time should be.”

Justice worketh only within the bonds of things as they are... and therefore though Justice is itself good and desireth no further evil, it can but perpetuate the evil that was, and doth not prevent it from the bearing of fruit in sorrow.”

“What we have in the Silmarillion etc. are traditions (especially personalized, and centred upon actors, such as Fëanor) handed on by Men in Númenor and later in Middle-earth (Arnor and Gondor); but already far back — from the first association of the Dúnedain and Elf-friends with the Eldar in Beleriand — blended and confused with their own Mannish myths and cosmic ideas.”

“That is one thing that Men call “hope”,’ said Finrod. ‘Amdir we call it, “looking up”. But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is “trust”. It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and first being.”

“There are many different kinds of bravery. There's the bravery of thinking of others before one's self. Now, your father has never brandished a sword nor fired a pistol, thank heavens. But he has made many sacrifices for his family, and put away many dreams.
Michael: Where did he put them?
Mrs. Darling: He put them in a drawer. And sometimes, late at night, we take them out and admire them. But it gets harder and harder to close the drawer... He does. And that is why he is brave.”

“I'll never tell you to stop loving. You see, I believe in hopeless love. Oh yes. I believe in it with all my heart, though you may discount the heart of an old nanny like me. For real love brings pain. Real love means sacrifices and hurts and all the thousand shocks of life. But it also means beauty, true beauty.”
