hmmmmmm lets see:
Thus spoke Ioreth, wise woman of Gondor, THe hands of the king are the hands of a healer and so shall the rightful king be known.
" Long live the halflings! Praise them with great praise! etc
" I'll get there , if I leave everything but my bones behind" said Sam " And i'll carry Mr. Frodo up myself, if it breaks my back and heart. So stop arguing!"

😆 😆
No, I didnt know all those parts by heart; I collected the quotes of the characters a while ago and now used them here 😉
Quotes from the Narn-i-Chîn-Húrin I really liked -
"And a high inheritance will come to our son"
That night Túrin half-woke, and it seemed to him that his father and mother stood beside his bed and looked down on him in the light of the candles that they held; but he could not see their faces
"Blind you are, Morgoth Bauglir, and blind shall ever be, seeing only the Dark"
Ever will some new evil be hatched in Angband beyond the guess of Elves and Men
But Túrin wept bitterly at night alone, though to Morwen he never again spoke the name of his sister
Then Túrin Asked: "What Is Fate?"
A darkness lies behind us, and out of it few tales have come
But the up-climbing is painful, and from high places it is easy to fall low
Her inmost thought foreboded that Húrin was not dead, and she listened for his footfall in the sleepless watches of the night, or would wake thinking that she had heard in the courtyard the neigh of Arroch his horse.
Therefore the voice of Húrin, or the memory of his voice, was denied, and the first strand of the fate of Túrin was woven.
"False hopes are more dangerous than fears", said Sador, "And they will not keep us warm this winter"
"What is a thrall?" - "A man who was a man but is treated as a beast"
But when they bade Túrin turn and look back upon the house of his father, then the anguish of the parting smote him like a sword, and he cried: "Morwen, Morwen, when shall I see you again?" But Morwen standing on her threshold heard the echo of that cry in the wooded hills, and she clutched the post of the door so that her fingers were torn. This was the first of the sorrows of Túrin
Fear both the heat and the cold of your heart!
Malice that wakes in the morning is the mirth of Morgoth ere night
Orcwork in the woods for orcwords in the hall
If you do not wish for guests, you should keep better watch. Why do you welcome me thus? I come as a friend and seek only a friend. Neithan I hear that you call him.
Whom shall we serve, if not ourselves? Whom shall we love, when all hate us?
"She looked to find her son there awaiting here. But if you are he, then I fear that all has gone awry."
Then Túrin laughed bitterly. "Awry, Awry?", he cried. "Yes, ever awry, as crooked as Morgoth!" And suddenly a black wrath shook him; for his eyes were opened, and the spell of Glaurung loosed its last threads, and he knew the lies with which he had been cheated. "Have I been cozened, that I might come and die here dishonoured, who might at least have ended valiantly before the doors of Nargothrond?" And out of the night about the hall it seemed to him that he heard the cries of Finduilas.
"Long ago you dwelt in that house, you say. Lord Túrin, son of Húrin, why did you come back?"
Currently doing my best to learn them by heart 😉

if anything, i'd memorize the last batle of Fingon. when the balrog killed him. that was awesome.
✅ ✅ absolutely brilliant...
I only know it in German so far, though I also tried to learn it in english
something like
At last fingon stood alone with his guard dead about him, and he fought with gothmog until another balrog came behind and cast a thong of fire about him... then gothmog hewed him with his black axe and a white flame sprang from the helm of fingon as it was ?cloven...
Thus fell the High King of the Noldor, and they beat him into the dust with their maces, and his banner blue and silver they trod into the mire of his blood...
yey had the last sentence in my sig for a while 😄

Full quote:
Arise! Arise Riders of Theoden. Spears shall be shaken. Shields shall be splintered. A sword day. A red day. Ere the sun rises!!!! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for Ruin, and the world's ending! Death!! Death!! Death!! Forth Eorlings!!!!!!!
'Therefore Morgoth came, climbing slowly from his subterranean throne, and the rumour of his feet was like thunder underground. And he issued forth clad in black armour; and he stood before the king like a tower, iron-crowned and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a shadow over him like a storm cloud. But Fingolfin gleamed beneath it like a star;for his mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was set with crystals; and he drew his sword Ringil, and it glittered like ice, cold and gray and deadly.'
-The Lost Road and Other Writings book II
Thats my favourite passage.
