Donnie Darko

[Ryduce]

In the film Donnie Darko the english teacher states that a famous writer once said of all the words in the english language the most beautiful are cellar door. Somebody had told me this was Tolkien quote,but im not sure.If anyone knows the origins of it please tell me,and if there is any significant philosophy to it because I believe the quote was only used to help Donnie in his journey through time.


And if you haven't seen this movie you should because it is one of the most complex I've seen.

Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant.
And it certainly is a great movie.

Tolkein, as quoted above, "cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling)."

As used? echoed? ? by Le Guin "As long ago as forever and as far away as Selidor, there lived a prince..."
