“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Númenor, and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom.” - Faramir, The Two Towers
“Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin’s Day will shine upon the keyhole”

Erebor. Built deep within the mountain itself, the beauty of this fortress city was legend. Its wealth lay in the earth, in precious gems hewn from rock, and in great seams of gold, running like rivers through stone. The skill of the dwarves was unequaled, fashioning objects of great beauty out of diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire.
“I’m sorry for everything.”

Apparently people hated to go for walks with him because he would stop and look at every tree for like 20 minutes.
I also like doing this so we would probably have had nice walks together
I like to think this is where Ents language came from. He was just simply saying ‘Hi’ to the trees. You can’t blame him it takes time.
The fucking Ent comment I cAN’T
