Hiked the AT last year. One has a lot of time to think of things, the ins and outs of reality and other workings of life while you walk along under the green tunnel.
While hiking, I quite often listened to audio books of Tolkien's works. Almost feeling like I was part of the journey at times. I can tell by the way he describes nature and other things in the world of Middle Earth that he spent a good amount of time in the woods himself running chatter through his own cranium working out the world.
These are all great quotes by him! Thank you for posting them. I always forget how many wise, deep things he wrote.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." J.R.R. Tolkien
That's by and far my favorite LOTR/Tolkien quotes. The delivery by gandalf is tender but also wise. You can almost see the glimmer of hope in his eyes. Sometimes I feel like this is something God tells us all too.
"The circumstances of our birth are irrelevant" - Mewtwo.*
I know it's not a Tolkien quote but it goes along with it well. We decide the fate of our short lives
