Favorite quotes...
---------------------------------- "And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned, crawling and creeping down the path out of the gloom ahead. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head dropping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo’s head, drowned in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam’s brown hands, and the other lay softly upon his master’s breast. Peace was in both their faces. Gollum looked at them. A strange expression passed over his lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes, and they went dim and grey, old and tired. A spasm of pain seemed to twist him, and he turned away, peering back up towards the pass, shaking his head, as if enganged in some interior debate. Then he came back, and slowly putting out a trembling hand, very cautiously he touched Frodo’s knee -- but almost the touch was a caress. For a fleeting moment, could one of the sleepers have seen him, they would have thought that they beheld an old weary hobbit, shrunken by the years that had carried him far beyond his time, beyond friends and kin, and the fields and streams of his youth, an old starved pitiable thing." "...the green grave of Finrod Finarfin's son, fairest of all the princes of the Elves, remained inviolate... But Finrod walks with Finarfin his father beneath the trees in Eldamar. "

"Aure entuluva! Day shall come again!" x 70.
-Hurin Throw in that Hurin actually laughed in Morgoth's face, and you've got yourself a winner, IMO.

RE: Best Quotes
Yep, Hurin is the man.
My favourtie remains: Then hate overcame Fëanor's fear, and he cursed Melkor and bade him be gone, saying 'Get thee gone from my gate, thou jail-crow of Mandos!' And he shut the doors of his house in the face of the mightiest of all dwellers in Eä.

then iluvatar rose, and the ainur perceived that he smiled; and he lifted up his left hand, and a new theme began amid the storm, like and yet unlike to the former theme, and it gathered power and had new beauty. but the discord of melkor rose in uproar and contended with it, and again there was a war of sound more violent than before, until many of the ainur were dismayed and sang no longer, and melkor had the mastery.

I've always been partial to the two in my sig.

thus King Finrod Felagund, fairest and most beloved of the house of Finwe, fulfilled his oath.
Of course it's part of my signature

Dark quotes to prefer, Bacchus. You're a curious person.
I think I'll have to go with Foul Dimmerlaik, "Aure entuluva".

Fingon when Turgon shows up at the Nirnaeth:
"The day has come! Behold people of the Eldar and sons of men, the day has come!" All the warhost "The Night is passing!" and then Hurin, the last standing "Day shall come again!" x70 WOW!

This is one of my favorite parts. From the Nirnaeth Arnoediad:
"The light of the drawing of the swords of the Noldor was like a fire in a field of reeds, and so fell and swift was their onset that almost the designs of Morgoth went astray. Before the army that he sent westward could be strengthened it was swept away, and the banners of Fingon passed over Anfauglith and were raised before the walls of Angband." What a sight it would be to behold. |

Ran across this one today, and it really struck me. It speaks of the times of peace and bliss among the Sindar in the time of Melkor's captivity.
"But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song."

If we can count Sil-timeframe works, I love the Fall of Fingolfin, where he defies Morgoth:

"Here ends the Silmarillion. And if it has passed from the High and the Beautiful to darkness and ruin that was of old the fate of Arda Marred."
So beautifully sad. Especially after the whole sil, where you imagine the newly green earth gone, and the light of the trees unmarred gone, and the sils gone, and the beautiful realms of the elves - gondolin, doriath.. - all gone...
