“A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving.”
Letter to his son Christopher (30 January 1945) — in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien (1981), p. 110
The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien (1981)
“The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world.”
The Theory of Psychoanalysis (1913)
Context: The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.

“A story can be new and yet tell about olden times. The past comes into existence with the story.”

Context: Gregor turned on the television and flipped through the channels. He stopped at the news. A bomb had blown up in a marketplace somewhere, killing forty-nine. There were body parts and smoke and relatives wailing. The next story was about refugees dying on the road, driven from their homes by an enemy army. The news anchor was just starting to show a grainy video of a soldier who had been taken hostage when his mother reached in and switched off the television. She looked so sad. "I think you've seen enough, Gregor." It had all looked pretty familiar. The bodies, the fear, the desperation. These things had always been here in the Overland, he supposed, but he had never really paid any attention to them until now.
