“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.”

Happy Birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien! Born January 3rd 1892 (120 years ago!), and responsible for so much in so many lives. Thank you very much, sir, for everything.
