I have read the Silm , more than a few times , but this passge finally came to my attention .
It is not exactly a qoute but it is attributable, to whom?

"...whose power is at rest,whose joy is as an air that they breathe all their days,whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps".

'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.'
