Quotes from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

Night changes many thoguhts.

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."

I don't want to be in a battle, but waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.

There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice.

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

"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.

"...Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?"
"A man may do both," said Aragorn. "For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!"

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

My friends… you bow to no one!

The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own. I don't think it gave life to Orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them.

This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. If you do not find a way, no one will.

The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men.

Then Elrond and Galadriel rode on; for the Third Age was over and the Days of the Rings were passed and an end was come of the story and song of those times.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.

Never is too long a word even for me.

Well, this is a thing unheard-of. An Elf will go underground where a Dwarf dare not? Oh, I'd never hear the end of it.

Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand - that and such hope as I bring.
