J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes

Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . .. . . (quoting an obituary) 'There is no such thing as a natural death.

All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.'
