J.R.R. Tolkien
“Don’t adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Earl Lovelace
“I was thinking that if what distinguishes us as humans is our stupidity, what may redeem us is our grace.”
Earl Lovelace

Peter Jackson
“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love.”
Peter Jackson

Guy Gavriel Kay
“It happens this way sometimes, we can discover truths about ourselves in a moment, sometimes in the midst of drama, sometimes quietly. A sunset wind can be blowing off the sea, we might be alone in bed on a winter night, or grieving by a grave among leaves. We are drunk in a tavern, dealing with desperate pain, waiting to confront enemies on a battlefield. We are bearing a child, falling in love, reading by candlelight, watching the sun rise, a star set, we are dying . . . But there is something else to all of this, because of how the world is for us, how we are within it. Something can be true of our deepest nature and the running tide of days and years might let it reach the shore, be made real there—or not.”
Guy Gavriel Kay, Children of Earth and Sky

Sheila Hancock
“It’s lovely loving, isn’t it? In fact, I find it almost better, because being loved sometimes embarrasses me, but loving is a gift.”
Sheila Hancock
