Death Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Far over the misty mountains cold”

“The world was fair, the mountains tall”

“Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . .”

“Fare well we call to hearth and hall”

“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens,'said Gimli.”

“To crooked eyes truth may wear a wry face”

“The universal pervasion of ugliness, hideous landscapes, vile noises, foul language...everything. Unnatural, broken, blasted; the distortion of the dead, whose unburiable bodies sit outside the dug outs all day, all night, the most execrable sights on earth. In poetry we call them the most glorious.”

“Sometimes, death only means the end of all old memories.”

“Again the ranch is on the market and they’ve shipped out the last of the horses, paid everybody off the day before, the owner saying, ‘Give them to the real estate shark, I’m out a here,” dropping the keys in Ennis’s hand. He might have to stay with his married daughter until he picks up another job, yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream.”

“You are young, and rich, and have friends, and at such an age I know it is hard to die!”

“Girls are always saying things like, “I’m so unhappy that I’m going to overdose on aspirin,” but they’d be awfully surprised if they succeeded. They have no intention of dying. At the first sight of blood, they panic.”
