Re: [famous_quotes] Tolkein/Lord of the Rings
Tolkein quotes
"In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty wet hole,
filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor a dry, bare, sandy hole
with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat; it was a Hobbit hole, and that
means comfort."
Opening lines to "The Hobbit"
"Why, O why did i ever leave my hobbit-hole!"
--Bilbo
"Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go
Forward? Only thing to do! On we go."
--Bilbo, lost in the dark
"Bless us and splash us, my precious! I guess it's a choice feast; at
least a tasty morsel it'd kake us, gollum!"
--Gollum, upon regarding Bilbo for the first time.
"So comes snow afgyer fire and even dragons have their endings"
--Bilbo, reflecting on events homeward bound afger the battle of 5 armies
"Roads go ever, ever on
Over rock and under tree
by caves where never sun has shone
by streams that never find the sea
Over snow by winter sown
and through the merry flowers of June
Over grass and under stone
And winter mountains in the moon
Roads go ever, ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn atlast to home afar
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known"
--A travelling song
"And what would a Dwarf ask of the Elves? said Galadriel, turning to Gimli.
'None, Lady,' answered Gimli. 'It is enough for me to have seen the lady of
the Galadhrim, and to have heard her gentle words.'
'Hear all ye elves!' she cried to those about her. 'Let none say again
that Dwarves are grasping and ungracious! "
Randy
"Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the
wings of trees! The years have passed like swift draughts of the sweet mead
in lofty halls beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda wherein the
stars tremble in the song of her boice, holy and queenly. Who now shall
refill the cup for me? For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars,
from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds, and all pathsa are
drowned deep in shadow; and out of grey country darkness lies on foaming
waves between us, and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever. Now
lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar! Farewell! Maybe thou shalt
find Valimar. Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell! Varda is the name
of that Lady whom the Elves in these lands of exile name Elbereth."
--Elven song, sung in parting by Lady Galadriel (translated)

Loved the movies; loved the books. Has anyone got some J.R.R. Tolkien/Lord
of the Rings quotes??
"Hopelessly outnumbered, King Aragorn sought to inspire his men against what
seemed like sure defeat against the swarming hordes of their hellish
enemies. Riding in front of his gathered, but rather lowly army, he shouted,
'I see in your eyes the same fear that would break the heart 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!'"
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
