Lord of the Rings: Memorable Quotes

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something." "What are we holding on to Sam?" asked Frodo. "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for."

"Here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea, comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil." (Gandalf the White, at the Grey Havens)
