Hobbitul

“To the end of his days Bilbo could never remember how he found himself outside.”

Bilbo really just wanted his morning tea and a clean handkerchief. Seeing him leave his comfortable hole without a hat felt like the bravest thing ever.

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

Thorin let his pride get in the way of his heart. It took a war and a deathbed for him to value friendship over gold.

“It is my birthday-present, we says; yes, my precious.”

Gollum was once a normal person who just got lost in the dark. His riddle game with Bilbo felt more like a tragedy than a contest.

“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging.”

Gandalf never forced anyone to be a hero. He just gave Bilbo a little nudge and trusted him to find his own way.
