Pardon? How do you mean, what message is too short?
as for the quote, that is Tolkien himself, about (alleged) Escapism inherent to fantasy and the people apt tp criticize it

Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to post the quote, and I got an error from the board that the message should contain at least 10 characters, never saw that before...
you were right of course! Proceed please...

Ah, at last a quote in this thread that I recognize!
It's from "Smith of Wootton Major" (which I recently have read for the first time) . The smith says this to his son Ned, after giving back the star. "The name of grandfather hasn't weakened my arm yet a while. Let the work come!"
