There was Eru...Well, no Google cheating either:<br /><br /> There was Eru, the One, who in Arda was called Illuvatar; and he made the first Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.<br />--- The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien<br /><br /> In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.<br />--- The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien<br /><br /> When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton. <br />--- The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien<br /><br /><br />Those are three opening lines to books I'm very fond of and know about half a billion people, at least, who would agree ;p just ask Anne ;)Nathan's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144507600132302883noreply@blogger.com
