I love quotes. They're so...quotable. OK, OK, but I thought I'd do a postful of quotes, since I like 'em. This is by no means a list of my favorite quotes; don't even know where I'd start on something like that. But just a few that I like, or that I just remembered, or whatever.
Take the chance, in the comment section, to post any quotes that you like!

"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 it 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 it does, the sun 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. Cause they were holding on to something...There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
~The Two Towers (movie)
"...and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the Elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow, but now, were your sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still would I love you."
~The Return of the King, by JRR Tolkien
"'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.

I live in a world of people pretending to be something they're not.
-A Cinderella Story
Three rings for the Elven-kings,
Under the sky,
Seven rings for the Dwarf-lords,
In their halls of stone,
Nine rings for mortal men,
Doomed to die,
And one ring for the dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all.
One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness, bind them!
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
- The Lord of the Rings
"Now's a chance to show your quality," says Sam…
"So it seems," said Faramir, slowly and very softly, with a strange smile... "So that is the answer to all the riddles! The One Ring that was thought to have perished by the world. And Boromir tried to take it by force? And you escaped? And ran all the way – to me! And here in the wild I have you: two Halflings, and a host of men at my call, and the Ring of Rings. A pretty stroke of fortune! A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality! Ha!" He stood up, very tall and stern, his grey eyes glinting…...'Not if I found it on the highway would I take it,' I said. Even if I were such a man as to desire this thing, and even though I knew not clearly what this thing was when I spoke, still I should take these words as a vow, and be held by them. But I am not such a man. Or I am wise enough to know that there are some perils from which a man must flee."
-Faramir, Captain of Gondor
"You're the only girl I've ever loved, and I'd do anything, not to give you up. If I could only stop the world, when you're standing by my side, see I'm having the time of my life, yes, I'm having the time of my life..."

"There's no one else I'd rather be here with."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Josh Bryant and Mia Thermopalis, "Princess Diaries"
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the knowledge that something else is more important than fear. The brave do not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all.
-Mia's dad, "Princess Diaries"
God of life, of all the earth, hear my prayer, hear my call, take this life, oh take it all, let it burn, oh let it show...

I see you standing here, but you're so far away, starving for your attention, you don't even know my name, you're going through so much, don't you know that I could be the one to hold you, Every single day, I find it hard to say, I could be yours to hold.

There's a wall that has been standing, since the day that Adam fell, sin is where it started, sin is why it held, speaking as a prisoner, who was there and lived to tell, I remember how it felt, I could hear the sound of freedom, like a distant voice who called, begging me to follow, where I had never gone, and although my heart was willing, I just stood there at the wall, praying somehow it would fall, but in a cross I found a doorway, and a hand that held a key, then the chains fell at my feet, for the first time I was free, This is how it feels to be free! This is what it means to know that I am forgiven!
-This is How it Feels to Be Free
If you don't tell me, I'll set you on fire in your bed!
-Tara
Time, moves slowly while you're gone, I haven't heard your voice in quite some time, But I still see your face, I cannot erase the things you've done, And all the ways you've kept me hanging on, Now you're gone, I've moved on, and I don't feel so sorry, Can't you see, I'm bleeding, But I won't bleed anymore, I've held on for so long now, But I had to let you go...at the end of our broken road.
~Broken Road by 12 Stones
Life doesn't make much sense. But, neither do you.

"Prayer is the battle; it is a matter of indifference where you are.
Whichever way God engineers circumstances, the duty is to pray. Never
allow the thought - "I am of no use where I am;" because you certainly can
be of no use where you are not."
My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
"Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
~ From Romans 12
"Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
~Yoda
