quotations from The Lord of the Rings
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
GOLLUM
The Two Towers
I miss the Shire. I spent all my life pretending I was off somewhere else. Off with you, on one of your adventures. But my own adventure turned out to be quite different. I'm not like you, Bilbo.
FRODO
The Fellowship of the Ring
Do not come between the Nazgul and his prey.
WITCH KING
The Return of the King
Short cuts make long delays.
PIPPIN
The Fellowship of the Ring
We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc.
ARAGORN

I think we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin.

The Fellowship is breaking, it has already begun. He will try to take the Ring, you know of whom I speak. One by one, it will destroy them.

Are all these children yours? Gracious, you have been productive.
BILBO

Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.
SARUMAN
The Fellowship of the Ring
I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me ... Don't tell the elf.
GIMLI
The Two Towers
You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the throne of Gondor. This exile, crept from the shadows, will never be crowned king. Gandalf does not hesitate to sacrifice those closest to him, those he professes to love. Tell me ... what words of comfort did you give the halfling before you sent him to his doom?
SARUMAN
The Return of the King
The wise speak only of what they know.
GANDALF
The Two Towers
The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true.
GALADRIEL
The Fellowship of the Ring
I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart.
FRODO

He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.
GANDALF
The Fellowship of the Ring
Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the fellowship of the ring.
