Leading up to the release of LOTR movies, I was hugely apprehensive they would murder the most important book of my existence, and I needed some of the spoilers to dampen the angst and prepare myself for the inevitable changes. I'm nowhere near as emotionally invested in The Hobbit. I'm sure I'll go, but I won't stand in line for a midnight showing. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but it won't be a life-changing experience, either way. I'm sure I'll find things to criticize, but it won't get my shorts in a bunch.
"That is one thing that Men call 'hope.' Amdir we call it, 'looking up.' But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is 'trust.' It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and First Being. If we are indeed the Eruhin, the Children of the One, then He will not suffer Himself to be deprived of His own, not by any enemy, not even by ourselves. This is the last foundation of estel, which we keep even when we contemplate the End. Of all His designs the issue must be for His children's joy." Finrod, Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, HoME X Morgoth's Ring
