About This Quote

The phrase, "the Universe is stranger than we imagine" appears in the first chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit . It is said by Gandalf to Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf being a wizard who has spent time with elves and dwarves in Middle-earth. It is used to describe how complicated the world can be. The saying makes it clear that even though the world is pretty much straight forward, the Universe, or existence itself , is much more complex than you could have ever imagined.
