Gimli: "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf."
Legolas: "What about side by side with a friend?"
Gimli: "Aye, I could do that."
Gimli: "What's happening out there?"
Legolas: "Shall I describe it to you... or would you like me to find you a box?"
A red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night.
Legolas in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"The deeds of Men will outlast us, Gimli."
"And yet come to naught in the end but might-have-beens, I guess", said the Dwarf.
"To that the Elves know not the answer", said Legolas.

[Hiro hyn hîdh ab 'wanath.]
There lies the woods of Lothlórien! That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are not trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring comes and the new green opens do they fall and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden and golden is it's roof, and its pillars of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey. So still our songs in Mirkwood say. My heart would be glad if I were beneath the eaves of that wood, and it were springtime!

Legolas in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, to BoromirHe was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.
