| Hobbit Literature | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Of course, there is much to be said of Hobbits. Below you will find some of my favorite quotes from Hobbits and their friends. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "A Ring of Power looks after itself, Frodo. It may slip off treacherously, but its keeper never abandons it. At most, he plays with the idea of handing it on to someone else's care--and that only at an early stage, when it first begins to grip. But as far as I know Bilbo alone in history has ever gone beyond playing, and really done it. He needed all my help, too. And even so he never would have forsaken it, or cast it aside. It was not Gollum, Frodo, but the Ring itself that decided things. The Ring left him." -Gandalf Fellowship of the Ring |

| "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." -Bilbo Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out." -Gildor Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill." -Gildor Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "But talking would stop me thinking and wondering, which are quite as tiring." -Frodo Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow." -Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "He is not half through yet, and to what he will come in the end not even Elrond can foretell. Not to evil, I think. He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes that can see." -Gandalf Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom." -Gandalf Fellowship of the Ring |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house." -Aragorn The Two Towers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "It is difficult with these evil folk to know when they are in league, and when they are cheating one another." -Aragorn The Two Towers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "One who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters." -Aragorn The Two Towers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Dangerous!... And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord. And Aragorn is dangerous, and Legolas is dangerous. You are beset with dangers, Gimli son of Gloin; for you are dangerous yourself, in your own fashion. Certainly the forest of Fangorn is perilous--not least to those that are too ready with their axes; and Fangorn himself, he is perilous too; yet he is wise and kindly nonetheless." -Gandalf The Two Towers |
