As someone with a strong sense of wanderlust, the second line of this quote always meant something special to me. I heard it long before I became familiar with J.R.R.Tolkien or The Lord of the Rings, but when I found out Tolkien wrote it in The Fellowship of the Ring, I smile and thought, Yeah, that makes sense.
In honor of Tolkien Reading Day 2011, I’m happy to share a few of his words.

I like that. The first line has always really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing this with us today!
Count me as part of the “second line resonates deeply” crowd.
Thought, oddly enough, I never made it through the Lord of the Rings – the flaw is in me, I know. But there it is.
The same quote(the second line) has been inspiring me for years! Thanks for sharing this with us!
