Most of the battle of Morgoth and Fingolfin has been quoted, except for these two lines, I believe, "Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of the Elven-Kings of old. The Orcs made no boast of that duel at the gate; neither do the Elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep." For me, this is one of the saddest lines in all of the books.
