From Books:
The Hobbit:
"Good morning!" said Bilbo. . . Gandalf looked at him . . . "What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?" . . . "Good morning!" he said at last. "We don't want any adventures here, thank you!" "What a lot of things you do use Good morning for!" said Gandalf. "Now you mean that you want to get rid of me, and that it won't be good till I move off."
"I will go so far as to send you on this adventure. Very amusing for me, very good for you--and profitable too, very likely, if you ever get over it."

From Famous People:
- Tolkien:
"I do believe children do read it or listen to it [The Lord of the Rings] quite eagerly, even quite young ones, and I am very pleased ot hear it, though they must fail to understand most of it, and it is in any case stuffed with words that they are unlikely to understand - if by that one means 'recognize as something already known'. I hope it increases their vocabularies.
As for plenilune or argent, they are beautiful words before they are understood - I wish I could have the pleasure of meeting them for the first time again! - and how is one to know them till one does meet them? And surely the first meting should be in a living context, and not in a dictionary, like dried flowers in a hotus siccus!
Children are not a class or kind, they are a heterogeneous collection of immature persons, varying, as persons do, in their reach, and in their ability to extend it when stimulated. As soon as you limit your vocabulary to what you suppose to be within their reach, you in fact simply cut off the gifted ones from the chance of expanding it.
And the meaning of fine words cannot be made 'obvious', for it is not obvious to any one: least of all to adults, who have stopped listening to the sound because they think they know the meaning. . . . There is some chance then that you may like it for itself, and later learn to appreciate the heraldic overtones it has, in addition to its own peculiar sound. . . ."
"The trouble is one does not really know what is going on, even when a child listens with attention, even when it laughs. Children have one thing (only) in common: a lack of experience and if not of discrimination at least of the language in which to express their perceptions; they are still usually acquiescent (outwardly) in their acceptance of the food presented to them by adults. Though they may mentally or actually throw the stuff over the garden wall, and say demurely how much they have enjoyed it. As my children did (they confess) with their suppers in the garden in summer, giving parents the permanent delusion that they loved jam-sandwiches."
"Surely I am 'childish' enough, and that ought to be enough for real children or any one 'childish' in the same sort of way, and never mind if the old chap knows a lot of jolly words."
