From what I've read so far, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] :


-"So that is the King of Rohan!...A fine old fellow. Very polite."
Pippin

-"Well, I am going back into the open air, to see what the wind and sky are doing."
Legolas

-'Lorien was slipping backward, like a bright ship masted with enchanted trees, sailing on to forgotten shores, while they sat helpless upon the margin of the grey and leafless world.'

-"...here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!"
'...And taking Frodo's hand in his, he left the hill of Cerin Amroth and came there never again as living man.'

-"Alas for us all! And for all that walk the world in these after-days. For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream."
Legolas

-"If he forgets, I shall roast him."
Gandalf

-"Let us shut out the night! For you are still afraid, perhaps, of mist and tree-shadows and deep water, and untame things. Fear nothing! For tonight you are under the roof of Tom Bombadil."
Goldberry

-'In the stern sat Aragorn son of Arathorn, proud and erect, guiding the boat with skillful strokes; his hood was cast back, and his dark hair was blowing in the wind, a light was in his eyes: a king returning from exile into his own land.'
..."How my heart yearns for Minas Anor and the walls of my own city! But whither now shall I go?"

And of course, the songs. Especially Bilbo's song about the road, it still moves me to tears. Oh blimey, what's the use? I may as well post the entire book here while I'm at it!
