Quote Book Lord of the Rings

shared by Sunny Jackson on 01 Jun 13 - No Cached
  • "I do not slay man or beast needlessly, and not gladly even when it is needed."
  • "I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway. Not were Minas Tirith falling in ruin and I alone could save her, so, using the weapon of the Dark Lord for her good and my glory. No, I do not wish for such triumphs, Frodo son of Drogo."
  • "He is bold, more bold than many deem; for in these days men are slow to believe a captain can be wise and learned in the scrolls of lore and song, as he is, and yet a man of hardihood and swift judgement in the field. But such is Faramir. Less reckless and eager than Boromir, but not less resolute." —Beregond
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.
  • 'When he saw the pale face of Faramir he caught his breath. It was the face of one who had been assailed by a great fear or anguish, but has mastered it and now is quiet. Proud and grave he stood for a moment...and Pippin gazing at him saw how closely he resembled his brother Boromir—whom Pippin had liked from the first, admiring the great man's lordly but kindly manner. Yet suddenly for Faramir his heart was strangely moved with a feeling that he had not known before. Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings.' —Pippin
  • "Ever your desire is to appear lordly and generous as a king of old, gracious, gentle. That may well befit one of a high race, if he sits in power and peace. But in desperate hours gentleness may be repaid with death." "So be it," said Faramir.
  • 'She looked at him and saw the grave tenderness in his eyes, and yet knew, for she was bred among men of war, that here was one whom no Rider of the Mark would outmatch in battle... this tall man, both stern and gentle...' —Éowyn

shared by Sunny Jackson on 22 May 13 - No Cached
  • Being small and pathetic seeming, Eowyn (& Merry) are uniquely placed to exploit the Witch King's arrogance.
  • His single-mindedness about power and his narrow conception of it leads him to not fear any humans - no man can kill him, and the possibility that a halfling and a woman might do it would simply not occur to a mind such as his.
  • "Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall".

  • the prophecy in itself wasn't the thing which imbued either Harry or Angmar with power, it was merely a record of sorts, noting a future occurrence
  • he was stating what is already known
