Here at last, on the shores of the sea ... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

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

GANDALF

The Fellowship of the Ring


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 falling 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.

ARAGORN

The Fellowship of the Ring


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.

The Return of the King


Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man's heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.

ARAGORN

The Return of the King


We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!

GOLLUM

The Two Towers


Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is my hour!

The Fellowship of the Ring


We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc.

ARAGORN

The Fellowship of the Ring


I think we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin.

It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men ... And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous.

GIMLI

The Two Towers


I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.

The Return of the King


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.
