Most beautiful Fantasy book quotes? Raymond E feist, eddings, Tolkien. On dreams?

Question

I want to get a tattoo that symbolises how fantasy makes up a huge part of who I am. I'm obsessed with books like lord of the rings, and authors such as Raymond e fiest and eddings. I love the image of the rogue/thief.
I also love dreaming, the wild ride your imagination conjours up.
I want to get a tattoo on my wrist, that symbolises this and am looking for beautiful quotes that stir the soul.
I was hoping to find something about dreams or dreaming but nothing seems right.
I like things like:
not all those who wander are lost (but this doesn't really fit with who I am)
such dreams have altered the colour of my mind

but neither are poetic enough, I want something that truely stirs my soul in the way these books do

please help? Original contributions very very welcome!!

Why get a tattoo? What if as your life wears on you decide that the quote is stupid, or you find out something that would make you not like it any more? I don't disapprove of tattoos innately, but you really do want to be completely certain.

If you decide against a tattoo, you could get some nice jewelry or clothes that would represent the same thing as the tattoo would have. But unlike the tattoo, you can stop wearing it at any time as well as alternating through different shirts or bracelets whenever you feel like a change. Just think about it ;)

As for the tattoo, if you really want it: You say you like LOTR, so perhaps you could get the writing of the One Ring around your wrist. That might be cool.

A few quotes I tripped over:

Unspecified: “Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy”

George Bernard Shaw: "Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"'

Marcel Proust: "If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."

Suffering is not made for animals, it is made for men, but if men suffer too much they become animals.
