Not proportionate
“Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.”
- Theoden before battle at Helm's Deep
“My business is with Isengard tonight, with a rock and stone. Rarum-rum! Come, my friends. The ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom: The last march of the ents!”
- Treebeard, marching on Isengard
"A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong."
- Gandalf, to the three hunters
"Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council."
- Gandalf casts out Saruman
“I can't do this Sam.”
“I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. 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?”
“That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.”
- Sam to Frodo, at Osgiliath
Heh~
Quite a few quotes eh?
I just came back from my relative's place.
To be precise, my Forth grand-aunt's new house. TKM, Mum and I went there to visit and eat lunch. Buffet...heh~ Her assam sting-ray is good. Full to the max at the moment...haha
Sadly, when I went there I realized that I knew less than half of the people who turned up...oh gosh...
