“Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!” J.R.R.Tolkien
Good advice for humans and hobbits? We must stiffen spines and fight the good fight against powerful enemies. All pro-Democracy citizens will face red greedy dragons seeking power. Forward we go!
“Go back?" he thought.
“No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!"
So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”
By J.R.R. Tolkien (2012). “The Hobbit: 75th Anniversary Edition”, p.100, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Don’t get distracted by Trump trials and other international battles: America needs to focus on preventing Trump and maga-Republicans from winning the election. Why? If they do, our country will never be free of foreign interference. Get the vote out for Democracy 💙🇺🇸💙
Keep on moving forward!
Lovely quote, Diane. As an English major and voracious reader, I have to confess that I’ve never read “The Hobbit” but perhaps the time is now?
