“What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!”

“Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy; not to strike without need.”

“He deserves death.”

“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot tell all ends.”

-Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring: The Shadow of the Past, page 58.

I wonder if people will ever say, “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.” And they’ll say “Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of Hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.”

“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 in 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.”
