Please pardon me for poor etiquette, I am new to this forum, and haven't introduced myself yet, but this is the post that made me stop lurking, and register.
While I am awed by Peter Jackson, and his creation, it is the book I know best.
I started reading and rereading LOTR more than 35 years ago (whoa, when did I get this old?)
These are the quotes that have stayed with me from my first reading.
'He deserves death.'
'Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live desreve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
(Frodo and Gandalf talking -- The Shadow of the Past)
These staves he spoke, yet he laughtd as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughtd at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted his sword to defy them. (Eomer -- Battle of the Pelennor Fields)
Well, you could probably add any quote from ROTK.
Yo welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay?
- more towels sir
anyhoo many great quotes come from the LOTR, funny ones yes, but more of the serious ones I like to stick on
"if you want him, come and claim him!" - Arwen (ride before she whiped the nazgul down a nice river *cough*)
but a good sound/quote would not be "screeeeech", it would be "Ka"
Discos - Sarcastic? no not me,
Originally posted by Gollum_GalI really liked the one in RotK in Rohan too (are they the same, I didn't notice)
my all time favorite line in the book is "his mind was set and only death could break it" and in the movie i love when smeagol talks to him self (its so cute) and and i love merry and pippins drinking song on the extended version of fotr...
I also loved this one in the film
Whack! - "That's for Frodo"
Dung! - "That's for the Shire"
Crack! - "And thats for my old Gaffer!!"
and in the book
"Then suddenly straight over the rim of their sheltering bank, a man fell, crashing through the slender trees, nearly on top of them. He came to rest in the fern a few feet away, face downward, green arrow-feathers sticking from his neck below a golden collar. His scarlet robes were tattered, his corslet of overlapping brazen plates was rent and hewn, his black plaits of hair braided with gold were drenched with blood. His brown hand still clutched the hilt of a broken sword.
It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face.
He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace - all in a flash of thought which was quickly driven from his mind."
(Of Herbs And Stewed Rabbit)
(it's nearly the same as the sentence by Faramir on the the TT EE)
Hello all,
I'm new to this forum (I started in James Bond... but don't hold that against me!) 😉
I thought I'd check out something from Bilbo Baggins. I'm sure we've all had days when we've felt this way too!
😄
