Tom Shippey
“. . . Tolkien disliked vague allegories, allegories which didn’t work, though he accepted them readily in their proper place, which was either advancing an argument (as in the Beowulf example) or else constructing brief and personal fables . . .”
Tom Shippey, J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century

Carlo Collodi
“آدم یا باید، پول را به زور بازویش یا به نیروی فکری درآورد.”
Carlo Collodi, Pinicchio
