• I am in fact a Hobbit in all but size. I like gardens, trees, and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humor (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.

  J. R. R. Tolkien

• Nunca he oído a una bailarina pedir consejo sobre cómo mantener la concentración en su juego de pies, ni a un pintor quejarse de la aburrida tarea diaria de pintar. ¿Qué tarea que merezca la pena no merece el esfuerzo diario? ¿Crees que Miguel Ángel se divirtió todo el tiempo que estuvo de espaldas pintando el techo de la Capilla Sixtina?

• The swift December dusk had come tumbling clownishly after its dull day and, as he stared through the dull square of the window of the schoolroom, he felt his belly crave for its food. He hoped there would be stew for dinner, turnips and carrots and bruised potatoes and fat mutton pieces to be ladled out in thick peppered flourfattened sauce. Stuff it into you, his belly counselled him.
