I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.

About This Quote

J.R.R. Tolkien said, “I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.” This quote captures the power of inspiration. Because we come from different backgrounds and experiences, we cannot possibly know the same things, but we live in a world made of wonders and we must see them for ourselves. We can only see what we look at, even if it is through some unseen tears, but we can´t help seeing it all because it is everywhere around us.
