Today is J.R.R Tolkien’s birthday, and apparently toasting “The Professor!” is how one is supposed to celebrate it.
While deciding what to put in this post I was looking through some quotes from his writings and found one from The Two Towers that I truly love – as in “I want to hang this one on my wall” love:
“And that’s the way of a real tale. Take any one that you’re fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it don’t know. And you don’t want them to.”Best Tolkien Quotes That Prove He Could Create Magic With Words
So here’s to The Professor!
