J. R. R. Tolkien

(1892-1973)

"Nothing has astonished me more (and I think my publishers) than the welcome given to The Lord of the Rings. But it is, of course, a constant source of consolation and pleasure to me. And, I may say, a piece of singular good fortune, much envied by some of my contemporaries. Wonderful people still buy the book, and to a man 'retired' that is both grateful and comforting."

30 June 1955 letter to Houghton Mifflin Co, quoted in The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien , no 165.
Also quoted in 'Tolkien on Tolkien' in Diplomat magazine October 1966.

"'I wish life was not so short,' he thought. 'Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.'"

Alboin Errol, in The Lost Road .

The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings
The Silmarillion
