"But at the same time he felt deeply troubled: he realized suddenly that he loved the old hobbit dearly." "Give us that, Déagol, my love...” "My dear and most beloved hobbits!" "Ass! Fool! Thrice worthy and beloved Barliman!” "Bless the old hobbit! I love him more than ever." "A man may love you and yet not love Wormtongue or his counsels..." "Give me Shadowfax!...already there is a bond of love between us." "I love him. He’s like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no." "And we love them: tall men and fair women, valiant both alike, golden-haired, bright-eyed, and strong; they remind us of the youth of Men, as they were in the Elder Days." "Filled suddenly with love for this old man, he knelt on one knee, and took his hand and kissed it." "There go three that I love, and the smallest not the least..." "They go only because they would not be parted from thee—because they love thee." "‘So!’ cried Denethor. ‘Thou hadst already stolen half my son’s love.'" "Suddenly Faramir stirred, and he opened his eyes, and he looked on Aragorn who bent over him; and a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes, and he spoke softly." "I love you, if only because of the pains you have cost me, which I shall never forget." "Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail." Yep, a whole lot of lovin' going on in LotR!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I desired dragons with a profound desire" "It struck me last night that you might write a fearfully good romantic drama, with as much of the 'supernatural' as you cared to introduce. Have you ever thought of it?" -Geoffrey B. Smith, letter to JRR Tolkien, 1915
