quotations from The Lord of the Rings
Not all those who wander are lost.
BILBO
The Fellowship of the Ring
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.
GANDALF
The Return of the King
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
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
The whole thing is quite hopeless, so it's no good worrying about tomorrow. It probably won't come.
FRODO
The Return of the King
The treacherous are ever distrustful.
GANDALF

I always like going South; somehow, it feels like going downhill.
TREEBEARD
The Two Towers
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
The Return of the King
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 is no mine. It's a tomb.
BOROMIR
The Fellowship of the Ring
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
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
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
The Fellowship of the Ring
All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits, somewhere in the wilderness.
GANDALF
The Two Towers
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.
BILBO
The Fellowship of the Ring
They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone. And we only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread ... the sound of trees ... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious.
GOLLUM
The Return of the King
I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.
SAM
The Fellowship of the Ring
I think there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye.
GANDALF
