And there's no sex, hardly any love stuff at all, in Middle Earth, which always made me think, yes, the world would be better off without it.

About This Quote

Tolkien's world is so rich and filled with so many interesting characters and scenes, but it is filled with so little sex, I was surprised to find that in all of the books. It's a shame that the movies had to leave out some of the juicy bits, but it would have been a waste of a perfect world.
