All dwarves are warriors!

The battlefield is not the place for a gentleman. They can neither fight nor defend themselves.

The world is not in the book or on the map, it is out there.

His stick was so powerful that it knocked off the head of the opposing leader in one fell swoop. The head flew a full hundred yards and ended up down a rabbit hole. So, that battle was won, and golf was invented at the same time.

All good stories need artistic processing.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey quotes

  • Bilbo Baggins: I have... I have never used a sword in my life.

    Gandalf: And I hope you never have to. But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.

  • Dori: Mr. Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?

    Gandalf: It is raining, Master dwarf, and it will continue to rain until the rain is done. If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another wizard.

    Bilbo Baggins: Are there any?

    Gandalf: What?

    Bilbo Baggins: Other wizards?

    Gandalf: There are five of us. The greatest of our order is Saruman the White. And then there are the two Blue Wizards... You know, I've quite forgotten their names.

    Bilbo Baggins: And the fifth?

    Gandalf: Well, that would be Radagast the Brown.

    Bilbo Baggins: Is he a great wizard, or is he more like you?

    Gandalf: Well, I think he is a very great wizard... in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals for others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East, and a good thing too. For always evil will look to find a foothold in this world.
