John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English author who lived from 1892-1973. These are some of his famous quotes.

	My advice to all who have the time or inclination to concern themselves with the international language movement would be: 'Back Esperanto loyally'.

	Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes in the sense that almost certainly both partners might be found by more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.
	Nothing has astonished me more than the welcome given to The Lord of the Rings. But it is a constant source of consolation and pleasure to me, and a piece of singular good fortune much envied by some of my contemporaries.
	I have in this War a burning private grudge — which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler. Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.
	Many are the strange chances of the world... and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the wise falter.
