"Flowers are great, candy gets you in the swing,
But it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that ring."

Here are some of my favorite Tolkien quotes:

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

-Gandalf

"Far above the Ephel Dúath in the West the night-sky was still dim and pale. There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."

-Gimli

"It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them."

-Frodo

"...for if joyful is the fountain that rises in the sun, its springs are in the wells of sorrow unfathomed at the foundations of the Earth."

-The Silmarillion
