The Lord of the Rings

The love of the Elves for their land and their works is deeper than the deeps of the Sea, and their regret is undying and cannot ever wholly be assuaged.

Galadriel

“And the smell of the air! I used to spend a week just breathing.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

"Many are my names in many countries: Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incánus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not."

Gandalf

"One who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters."

J.R.R. Tolkien

If by my life or death, I can protect you, I will.

Aragorn

What Grace is given me, let it pass to him. Let him be spared. Save him.

Arwen

What’s this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?

Arwen

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.

Bilbo

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Bilbo

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

Bilbo

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

Bilbo

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

Boromir

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

Frodo

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.

Galadriel

Fool of a Took. Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity.

Gandalf

I suppose you think that was terribly clever.

Gandalf

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

Gandalf

If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way around.

Gimli

There is a fell voice on the air.

Legolas

I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. “Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee.” And I don’t mean to.

Samwise Gamgee

There’s an eye-opener, and no mistake.

Samwise Gamgee

I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain.

Saruman

Three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time.

Gandalf

Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?

Theoden

I do not fear death.

Aragorn

I have wished you joy since first I saw you.

Aragorn

This day does not belong to one man but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace.

Aragorn

Courage, Merry, courage for our friends.

Eowyn

He has just as much reason to go to war as you do. Why can he not fight for those he loves?

Eowyn

I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

Frodo

My dear Sam: You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.

Frodo

We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.

Frodo

And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Earendil our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.

Galadriel

Fight. Fight to the last man. Fight for your lives.

Gandalf

Of all the inquisitive Hobbits, Peregrin Took, you are the worst.

Gandalf

Send these foul beasts into the abyss.

Gandalf

Your father loves you, Faramir. He will remember it before the end.

Gandalf

Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?

Gimli

Don’t go where I can’t follow.

Samwise Gamgee
