My Favourite Lord of The Rings Quotes

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. 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 really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

-The Two Towers (LOTR)

Frodo: "How do pick up on old life? How do you move on, when in your heart you begin to to understand there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend, some things that go too deep that have taken a hold."

-Return of The King (LOTR)

"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened!" (Frodo)
"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 evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring, in which case you also were meant to have it, and that is an encouraging thought!" (Gandalf)

-The Fellowship of The Ring (LOTR)

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadow shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken;
The crownless again shall be king.

-Return of The King (Arwen about Aragon)

Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! 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 forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

-Return of The King

"A thing is about to happen, that has not happened since the elder days. The ents are going to wake up, and find that they are strong."

 — Gandalf (The Two Towers)

 "It is dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door--You step into the road and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."

 -Bilbo Baggins

"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."

— Gandalf (Fellowship of The Ring)

"But do you remember Gandalf's words: Even Gollum may have something yet to do? But for him, Sam, I could not have destroyed the Ring. The Quest would have been in vain, even at the bitter end. So let us forgive him! For the Quest is achieved and now all is over. I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam."

― J.R.R., The Lord of The Rings, The Return of The King, "Mount Doom"
