📚 QUOTE OF THE DAY | J.R.R. TOLKIEN

“Give me a name and it produces a story, not the other way about normally.”

A name can be more than just a word — it can be the beginning of a story, an idea, or an entire world.

J.R.R. Tolkien, the author behind The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, showed us the power of names, language and imagination.

What story does your name inspire? ✍🏽
