"I can't do this Sam."
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that that stayed with you. That ment something, , even if you were too small to undertand why. And I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding onto something."
"what are we holding onto sam?"
"that there's some good, in this world Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
What are your favorite quotes and who says them? I think that sam and smeagol have some of the best lines ... what do you think?
Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all that have lived to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given you.
That is in the movie, FOTR, but I'm not sure about the book so I don't know if I should credit this beautiful line to Tolkien or Jackson. Gandalf says it when they are in Moria, when Frodo realizes that Gollum is following them. Then at the very end of the movie, he flashesback and we hear it again.
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" Gandalf says this to the balrog *sp* in Moria. This is when the viewer realizes just how powerful Gandalf really is. He's not just a really sweet old man with a few tricks up his sleeve. He can fight pure and true evil.
i dont know it completely yet ( only seen rotk 3 times)
gimli: argh fine time to die next to an elf
Legolas: how bout next to a friend?
gimli: aye i can do that.
I love Sam's "I can't carry it for you, but i can carry you."
and Eowyn's "I am no man!" that was the best everyone in the theater started chearing.
"I see in you eyes the same fear that would take the lot of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. This day, We fight!" ~Aragorn
"This task was appointed to you and if you do not find a way, no one will"
"Why should Merry stay behind? Why should he not fight for those he loves?"
"I do not doubt his courage, only the length of his arm."
"Certainty of death, small chance of sucess. What are we waiting for?"
"I'd never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf."
"What about side by side with a friend?"
"Aye, I could do that."
"Glad to be with you Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."
wow i have lots of favorites and more wich i will probably end up posting as well cuz I love so many :-)
"I am servant to the Secret Fire, weilder of the Flame of Arnor. The Dark Fire will not avail you Flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"
my favorite line in the whole trilogy.
Love is a very powerful force, especially when its formed into a coherent beam of death.
Arise riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaghter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword day, a red day ere the rising of the sun!
fini... it's
Gimli: "never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf."
Legolas: "how about side by side with a friend?"
Gimli: "Aye, I could do that." and it is really cute!
Pippin: "so I suppose this is just a cerimonial position. I mean, they don't expect me to do any fighting, do they?"
Gandalf: "You're in the service of the Steward now, you're going to have to do as you're told. Perigrin Took, gaurd of the citadal.
Aragorn: I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsaken our friends and break all bonds of fellowship but it is not this day.
Merry: "I am hungry. What is the time?"
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
A day of shatterd sheilds when all of humanity comes crashing down around us. But it is not this day! this day we fight! By all you hold dear, on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!
or something like that....
my favorite quotes from fotr would probably have to be...
"are you frightend?"
"yes."
"not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you."
or....
"You're supposed to stick it in the ground!"
"it is in the ground!"
"Outside!"
"this was your idea!"
or...
"anyway, you need people of intellegence on this sort of mission. quest. thing."
