But my favourite Merry parts are still his philosophizing about the world, in all the books. From his conspiracy and strategizing, to his relationship with Theoden and Eowyn, to his later role in the Scouring. This part is one of my favourite philosophical sprees from him: 'We Tooks and Brandybucks, we can’t live long on the heights.' ‘No,’ said Merry. ‘I can’t. Not yet, at any rate. But at least, Pippin, we can now see them, and honour them. It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep. Still there are things deeper and higher; and not a gaffer could tend his garden in what he calls peace but for them, whether he knows about them or not. I am glad that I know about them, a little. But I don’t know why I am talking like this. Where is that leaf? And get my pipe out of my pack, if it isn’t broken.’
