"The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity."
J.R.R. Tolkien was an English writer, philologist, and scholar best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon and later English language and literature at Oxford. His legendarium became foundational to modern epic fantasy.
