• Bajo la Montaña oscura y alta ¡El Rey ha llegado a su salón! Su enemigo ha muerto, el Gusano del Terror, y así caerán sus enemigos. La espada es afilada, la lanza es larga, la flecha veloz, la Puerta es fuerte; el corazón es audaz que mira al oro; los enanos no sufrirán más agravios. Los enanos de antaño hacían poderosos hechizos, Mientras los martillos sonaban como campanas En lugares profundos, donde las cosas oscuras duermen, En huecas salas bajo los riscos. -de El Hobbit (Canción de batalla de los enanos)

• You think me foolish to call instruction a torment, but if you had been as much used as myself to hear poor little children first learning their letters and then learning to spell, if you had ever seen how stupid they can be for a whole morning together, and how tired my poor mother is at the end of it, as I am in the habit of seeing almost every day of my life at home, you would allow that to torment and to instruct might sometimes be used as synonymous words.

• I know I must conceal my sentiments: I must smother hope; I must remember that he cannot care much for me. For when I say that I am of his kind, I do not mean that I have his force to influence, and his spell to attract: I mean only that I have certain tastes and feelings in common with him.I must, then, repeat continually that we are forever sundered: - and yet, while I breathe and think, I must love him.

• Necesito música que fluya sobre las yemas de mis dedos inquietos y sensibles, sobre mis labios amargados y temblorosos, con una melodía profunda, clara y líquida. Oh, por el vaivén curativo, viejo y bajo, de alguna canción cantada para descansar a los muertos cansados, ¡Una canción que caiga como agua sobre mi cabeza, y sobre los miembros temblorosos, el sueño sonrojado resplandezca! Hay una magia hecha por la melodía: Un hechizo de descanso, y respiración tranquila, y el corazón fresco, que se hunde a través de los colores que se desvanecen profundamente A la quietud subacuática del mar, Y flota para siempre en un estanque verde luna, Sostenido en los brazos del ritmo y del sueño.

• Si podía aprender a amar a otra y ganarse su amor a cambio para cuando cayera el último pétalo, el hechizo se rompería. Si no, estaría condenado a seguir siendo una bestia para siempre.

• En todas las casas se habían escrito claves para memorizar objetos y sentimientos. Pero el sistema exigía tanta vigilancia y fuerza moral que muchos sucumbieron al hechizo de una realidad imaginaria, inventada por ellos mismos, que les resultaba menos práctica pero más reconfortante.

• Su afecto por él era ahora el aliento y la vida del ser de Tess; la envolvía como una fotosfera, la irradiaba hasta hacerla olvidar sus penas pasadas, manteniendo alejados a los sombríos espectros que persistirían en sus intentos de tocarla: la duda, el miedo, el mal humor, la preocupación, la vergüenza. Sabía que aguardaban como lobos justo fuera de la luz que la circunscribía, pero tenía largas rachas de poder para mantenerlos allí sometidos hambrientamente.

• A child who can love the oddities of a fantasy book cannot possibly be xenophobic as an adult. What is a different color, a different culture, a different tongue for a child who has already mastered Elvish, respected Puddleglums, or fallen under the spell of dark-skinned Ged?

• A broken heart in real life isn't half as dreadful as it is in books. It's a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won't think THAT a very romantic simile. It takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it.

• Si te atiborras de poemas, ensayos, obras de teatro, cuentos, novelas, películas, cómics, revistas, música, automáticamente explotas cada mañana como el Viejo Fiel. Nunca he tenido un periodo de sequía en mi vida, principalmente porque me alimento bien, hasta reventar. Me despierto temprano y oigo mis voces matutinas saltando en mi cabeza como judías saltarinas. Salgo de la cama para atraparlas antes de que escapen.

• Despite all my public misconduct, in the past year, I had learned the Elemental spells, the Doppelschläferin, and the preparation and flying of a magic broom; I had survived two months as prisoner of war, saving the life of captain Johanne in the process; I had escaped the dungeons of Fortress Drachensbett, and after an arduous journey successfully reunited with my double, so preserving her, and all Montagne, from Prince Flonian's rapacity, I would somehow master the despicable art of being a princess.

• Art is expression; what is expressed is often the vision of a subtle and powerful soul, and also his experience with his vision; and however vivid and skilful he may be in the means of expression, yet it is frequently found that the master-spell in his work is something felt to be indefinable and inexpressible.
