Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance
Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
JRR Tolkien was a genius. His world, his languages, his people, his everything is nothing but magical creativity and the proof that some minds are greater than others. Although he can be seen as somewhat whacky or crazy, anyone who creates something as unimaginable as a whole other world seperate from our own is probably on a level we do not understand. The novels, the epic movies, the huge following is all because this story is something we have never seen before. It stops us short and grabs our attention. The wise knowledge within this text is evidence that there is more to a novel than just a story, but a lesson in all of life.
