I have loads of lines I love! The poem that Théoden quotes before the battle of Helm's Deep is an excellent quote:

"Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow."

I also really like Éowyn's reply to "What do you fear, my lady?" in RotK (book)/TTT (movie), and Gandalf's quote from the movie: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Very deep.

For comedy value, the scenes with Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep in the TTT film (and the orc-killing contest in the book) and also "You have to throw me"..."Don't tell the elf" are the best. Pippin's movie lines are quite funny as well: "You need people of intelligence on this sort of mission...quest...thing."

But my absolute favourite quote has to be from Frodo and Sam sailing up the Anduin:

Frodo: "Go back, Sam! I'm going to Mordor alone."
Sam: "Course you are. And I'm coming with you!"

I think that's a very Sam sort of thing to say (if that makes sense).
