The Lord of the Rings Quotes

The Enduring Legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien

Taglines: One man cast a lingering spell of awe and wonder, of magical innocence overcoming evil, of simple courage conquering fear - he gave us the legend that will live forever in our minds. J.R.R. Tolkien triumphed with the perception that a single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities. Come to Middle-earth, a world beyond the furthest reaches of your imagination.

The Power of a Single Dream

Taglines: A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.
