"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
"Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread..."
"Through shadows to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight..."
"Then world behind and home ahead, we'll wander back to home and bed..."
"The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places."
"That's the only place in all the lands we've ever heard of that we don't want to see any closer; and that's the one place we're trying to get to!"
"His old life lay behind in the mists, dark adventure lay in front."
"Then shouldering their burdens, they set off..."
"I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind."
"Not all those who wander are lost..."
"I want to see mountains again, Gandalf – mountains; and then find somewhere where I can rest."
"He looked at maps, and wondered what lay beyond their edges: maps made in the Shire showed mostly white spaces beyond its borders."
"Roads go ever ever on, over rock and under tree..."
"Roads go ever ever on, under cloud and under star..."
"Yet feet that wandering have gone, turn at last to home afar..."
"The Road goes ever on and on, out from the door where it began..."
"Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can..."
"Now far ahead the Road has gone. Let others follow, if they can!"
"End? No, the journey doesn't end here..."
"We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!"
"What am I going to get out of it? And am I going to come back alive?"
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold, to dungeons deep and caverns old..."
"I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen..."
"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
"Courage is found in unlikely places."
"It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish."
"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after."
