Here are some of my favorite LotR quotes from the books and the movies:

"This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields, to shake the towers and counsels of the Great. Who of all the wise could have foreseen it?"

"Farewell, and may the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you. May the stars shine upon your faces!"

"I pass the test," she said. "I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel."

"You cannot reach them. We tried once, yes, precious. I tried once; but you cannot reach them. Only shapes to see, perhaps, not to touch. No precious! All dead."

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king."

"Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

"There is only one Lord of the Ring. And he does not share power!"

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those year wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the feilds we know, so thta those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."

"And it is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few lives of Men, or for a passing age of the world."

"The treacherous are ever distrustful."

"The wise speak only of what they know, Grima son of Galmod. A witless worm you have become. Therefore be silent, and keep youur forked tongue behind your teeth."

"Many are the strange chances of the world, and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter."

"They were once men - great kings of men. Then Sauron the deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question. One by one they've fallen into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you."

"I know what I must do. It's just... I'm afraid to do it."

"Oh that's nice ash on my tomatoes."

"It came to me on my birthday...it is mine....my own...my....preciousssss."

"I am sorry that I have brought this upon you, my boy. And I'm sorry that...you must bear this burden. I'm sorry for everything!"

"I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people"

" I ask only for the strength to defend my people."

"You are a Ring-bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of Power is to *be* alone. This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will."

" I cannot do this alone."

"Let them come. There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath."

"Be on your guard. There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world."

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."

"There's no strength left in the race of Men."

"Don't tempt me, Frodo. I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo, I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine."

"No, thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations."

"Well, what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on much as it has these past age, full of its own comings and goings, scarcely aware of the existence of hobbits... for which I am very thankful."

"For the time will soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all."

"A shadow and a threat have been growing in my mind."

"You cannot pass... I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The Dark Flame will not avail you, Flame of Udun. Go back to the shadow! You shall not pass!"

"I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart."

"Your love of the halfings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind"

"I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox"

"The dwarf breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark."

" I think there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye."

"The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this."

"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king."

" would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I choose a mortal life."

" Your time will come. You will face the same evil, and you will defeat it."

"The same blood flows in my veins. The same weakness."

"I was there the day the strength of men failed."

"My dear Frodo, Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you."

"I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."

"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. . "

"I've thought of an ending for my book - And he lived happily ever after... to the end of his days."

"The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true."

"Not the beard!"

"They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out... they are coming."

"Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission... quest... thing."

"Well, that rules you out, Pip."

"There is more at work in this world than the force of Evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

"There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power."

" I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin... sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to."

"I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip."

"What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?"

"It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"

"It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance."

" Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death; and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them Frodo? Do not be too quick to deal out death in judgment. Even the wise cannot see all ends; My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good OR ill, before this is over."

"You must remember, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found."

"No one tosses a dwarf!"

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

"No one knows it's here. Do they? Do they, Gandalf?"

"Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."

"Great! Where are we going?"

"If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword."

"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing."

" Indeed! I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift."

" Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you."

"A little more caution from you, that is no trinket you carry."

"Are you frightened?"

"Out of the shadows of legend I begin a little to understand the marvel of the trees, I think. I have lived to see strange days. Long we have tended our beasts and our fields, built our houses, wrought our tools, or ridden away to help in the wars of Minas Tirith. And that we call the life of Men, the way of the world. We cared little for what lay beyond the borders of our land. Songs we have that tell of these things, but we are forgetting them, teaching them only to children, as a careless custom. And now the songs have come down among us out of strange places, and walk visible under the sun."

"The evil of Sauron cannot be wholly cured, nor made as if it had not been. But to such days we are doomed. Let us now go on with the journey we have begun!"

I'm a fan of Eowyn!
