——I can't do this, 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 shines it will be 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. ——What are we holding on to, Sam? ——That there's some good in this world, Mr.Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers quotes

  • [Aragorn walks through the ranks of Elven defenders of Helm's Deep]

    Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!

  • Gimli: 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.

    Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.

    Gimli: 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!

    [Eowyn laughs]

    Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
