Excerpt
- "[Tolkien] very much objected to the view that he wrote his books as Christian propaganda or anything like it. He wrote them as stories. He would sometimes pull a bunch of American letters or reviews towards him and say, 'You know, they're telling now telling me that...' and then he would say some things they'd told him about The Lord of the Rings. He'd say, 'You kow, I never thought of that. I thought I was writing it as pure story'. He came gradually to believe some of the things that, well, you were telling him."
- ― George Sayer
