“I fear I am beyond your comprehension. - Gandalf the White”

“The treacherous are ever distrustful.”

“I know. Its all wrong. By rights we shouldnt 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...”

“I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to”

“Fair speech may hide a foul heart.”

“There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”

“The world was fair, the mountains tallIn Elder Days before the fall...”

“We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.”

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory...”

“War is what happens when language fails.”

“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.”

“The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.”
