TOLKIEN, 2019
-Dome Karukoski
(favs: Lily Collins, Nicholas Hoult)

"I made stories, legends. After all, what is language for? It's not just the naming of things, is it? It's the lifeblood of a culture, a people"

"I can die in any way the fates choose, that's not up to me. But what is within my is to decide how I live. Courageously or timidly"

"Things aren't beautiful because of how they sound. They're beautiful because of what they mean"

"-Ubi bene ibi patria." Remember that, my darling?
-Wherever you feel happy, that's your home"

"-What about you?
-What about me?
-There must be something that you want?
-To get out of here. To be free. I would go somewhere where I wouldn't feel like a poor orphan, and everybody would be dressed like kings and queens. I wouldn't be there to play piano. Or to carry Mrs. Faulkner's purse. I'd be greeted and appreciated.
-Welcomed.
-Welcomed"

"-Brothers, will you join your comrades in this act of changing the world?
-We will.
-Helheimr!"

"I made the biggest mistake of my life, and there hasn't been a day, a moment, I've never stopped thinking about you. You are the most remarkable spirit I have ever met. You have courage and resourcefulness, talent. You're proud, maddeningly, wonderfully so. And you are cunning and vibrant, and completely alive. You deserve every happiness you find.
[pauses]
No. No, you don't. You don't deserve happiness. That's not what I... What I mean is, you deserve much more. You deserve magic"
