About This Quote
J.R.R. Tolkien said, "Bullets an stuff be flying all over. It is something I simply cannot understand - why in hell is we doing all this, anyway? Playing football is one thing. But this, I do not know why.
Goddamn." This quote comes from the speech he gave at the university on January 12, 1969. He was speaking of his disillusionment with the way the public was consuming his work; namely his book The Lord of the Rings , which was set to be published in July of that year (he died in 1973). He was most upset at the lack of quality control for what he felt were badly written books.
