“Toleration is not the opposite of intoleration, but it is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms.

The one is the pope, armed with fire and fagot, and the other is the pope selling or granting indulgences.”

“Toleration was a matter of the previous centuries – through this idea of toleration, thinking humans took the early steps towards a society free from religious sectarianism. The parliament of religions was and still remains a glorious emblem of this endeavor of religious toleration. However, time has changed and so has its needs. The need of this century is acceptance.”
“Toleration, holding that every other man has the same right to his opinion and faith that we have to ours; and liberality, holding that as no human being can with certainty say, in the clash and conflict of hostile faiths and creeds, what is truth, or that he is surely in possession of it, so everyone should feel that it is quite possible that another equally honest and sincere with himself, and yet holding the contrary opinion, may himself be in possession of the truth.”
“Toliko sam već dugo bio u Nepalu, a još nisam video Himalaje. Nepalci su me sažaljivo gledali, stranci se čudili, prijatelji me opravdavali sigurni da ću jednom tamo otići. Za sve sam bio nevernik koji stoji na pragu Kuće bogova, vrata od duginih boja su mu otvorena, svetlost je put, a on stoji, čeka; a možda i ne zna gde je, možda se nije probudio. Martin kaže da je u Himalajima ono što tražim. Jedino tamo ljudi će se setiti svog pravog davnog zaboravljenog lika. Ona je tamo, zagledana jedne večeri u daleku zvezdu, videla sebe u njoj, kao u ogledalu. Nebesa su ogledalo, a zvezde, modre, sjajne, ljudske oči.”

“toliko se puta zemlja okrenula

“Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?”
“Tolkien did admit that, 'As a guide, I had only my own feelings for what is appealing or moving.' In other words ~ he wrote about what interested him ~ and despite his protestation of including anything allegorical into his tale, Catholic history and mystic prophecy obviously received its fair share of attention ...”

“Tolkien, lucky man, had protected a realm of his own invention to which he could flee. Robert Graves, embittered by battle, writes: The child alone a poet is: Spring and Fairyland are his… Wisdom made him old and wary banishing his Lords of Faery”

“Tolkien seems to me reactionary, conservative, fearful of a modern world. Fearful of anything that isn't sanctioned by the passage of long eons of time. I think what I'm doing in His Dark Materials is politically the reverse of that.”
“Tolkien understood about the things that happen after the end. Because this is after the end, this is all the Scouring of the Shire, this is figuring out how to live in the time that wasn’t supposed to happen after the glorious last stand. I saved the world, or I think I did, and look, the world is still here, with sunsets and interlibrary loans. And it doesn’t care about me any more than the Shire cared about Frodo.”

“Tolkien was such a brilliant writer in so many ways. He was truly an inspiration. Many people don't realize just how much he researched and how much he based his stories and characters on mythology of various types. He was very deep and in many ways a genius.”
“Tolkien was, I believe, writing about his experience in the First and Second World Wars, where he would have spent a lot of time without any female contact. He was part of the fellowship of men who went to war, and I think, really, that's what he's writing about.”
“Tolkien, who created this marvellous vehicle, doesn't go anywhere in it. He just sits where he is. What I mean by that is that he always seems to be looking backwards, to a greater and more golden past; and what's more he doesn't allow girls or women any important part in the story at all. Life is bigger and more interesting than The Lord of the Rings thinks it is.”
“Toll for two-wheelers? What's next, charging pedestrians for using the sidewalk? Are we really trying to navigate the chaos !”

“Tolle Wände haben Sie", sagte Sibel damals, als sie Platz nahmen auf der schwarzen Couch, "da könnte man super Kunst aufhängen."
"Nein, nein, auf keinen Fall", sagte Michael Keplin, "ich habe mich mal viel mit Künstlern beschäftigt. Da könnte ich lange Vorträge drüber halten. Was malen sie alle für Bilder? Sie verarbeiten damit ihre eigenen Probleme. Und warum bitte soll ich mir die Probleme anderer Menschen an die Wand hängen?”

“Tolo é quem julga sabedoria, maturidade e inteligência por idade. Há muitos velhos de 25 anos e jovens de 50.”
“Tolong Jangan kau siksa aku dengan diammu, karena kebahagianmu adalah misi utamaku.”
“Tolstoi retrata y, al mismo tiempo, radiografía. Cuenta las perlas del collar con que adorna el pecho de la mujer que está imaginando. Nos percatamos, entonces, de que -a través de las perlas- la mirada del novelista penetró en la intimidad más recóndita de la dueña de aquel collar. Si intuición lo guía mucho mejor que el más fino psicólogo. Y lo que más sorprende es que el lector no descubre nunca el instante en que ha penetrado, sin darse cuenta, en la escena que está leyendo". p. 169”
