Tolkien Quotes: Not Etten Yet

Reposted from 8/30/2010 (last one)
“My heart’s right down in my toes, Mr. Pippin,” said Sam. “But we aren’t etten yet…”
This is a good dose of plain old hobbit-sense, something that we should keep in our hearts always. The quote embodies something I love about Sam: he sees the danger, he’s scared out of his wits, but in the midst of it all he can still point out, with undying hobbit cheerfulness, that they’re still alive and kicking. May we all have the same attitude in our lives.

  2. Thanks! I always try to relate the photo to the writing, but sometimes I fear the connection only makes sense to me. ;)
