Hey, serious Tolkien fans! Just thought since we have a favorite movie quote forrum (and Specter has already used up the best lines <_< ) let have a book quote forrum!
One of my favorites is the whole conversation between Eowyn and Faramir. Here it is :
"What do you look for, Eowyn?"
"Does not the Black Gate lie yonder?" "And must he not now be come thither? It is seven days since he road away."
"Seven days." "But think not ill of me, if I say to you: they have brought me both a joy and a pain that I never thought to know. Joy to see you; yet pain, because now the fear and doubt of this evil time are grown dark indeed. Eowyn, I would not have this world end now, or lose so soon what I have found."
"Lose what you have found, lord?" "I know not what in these days you have found that you could lose. But come, my friend, let us not speak of it! Let us not speak at all! I stand upon some dreadful brink, and it is utterly dark in the abyss before my feet, but whether there is any light behind me I cannot tell. For I cannot turn yet. I wait for some stroke of doom."
"Yes we wait for the stroke of doom."
