YES. Brace yourselves. *inhales deeply*
”All that is gold does not glittter, not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
- Gandalf, maybe? This one is tricky because I think multiple people may have said it, I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s called The Riddle of Strider and it’s an awesome LotR quote, so that’s what matters.
“I made a promise, Mr. Frodo, a promise. ‘Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.” —Samwise Gamgee
”And so I wish, to catch a fish, so juicy sweeeeet!’ —Gollum
”My friends, you bow to no one.” —Aragorn
”I never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an elf.”
”What about side by side with a friend?”
”Aye. I can do that.” —Gimli and Legolas
“Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew!” —Samwise Gamgee
(My personal favorite and my all-time go-to quote:) “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, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, 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 plenty 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 is some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.” —Samwise and Frodo
(And assuming Hobbit quotes count too...) “I am quite fond of you, but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!” —Gandalf
“What do you mean, Good Morning? Do you wish me a good morning; or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” —Gandalf
”Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!” —Bilbo Baggins

I have so many more, but I’ll stop now because this is getting long, and if I wrote out all the quotes I could think of there might not be any left for anyone else. XD Also, sorry if a few of these aren’t word-for-word. They were mostly from memory.

That was all my favorite quotes! Great job Leeli! About the "all that is gold does not glitter" poem, Bilbo wrote it to describe Aragorn, but both Aragorn and Gandalf say it at different times. I also love all the songs, especially the song the dwarves sing in the Hobbit. My parents read these books aloud to me when I was younger, and they would sing it in such a wonderful mysterious way. Has anyone read Farmer Giles of ham? It's also Tolkien, and it's HILARIOUS!

Heheh I have Gandalf's personality type heheheheheheheh
"PO-TA-TOES." -Sam (I'm not sure if this is actually in the book ['sbeen a while, okay])
"It's the job that's never started that takes the longest to finish." - Also Sam
I also made this up based on Gandalf's love of smoke rings:
"Smoke rings are a wizard's best friends." Probably to be used as an ingraving on the side of a long pipe like Gandalf's.

I have Aragorn and Galadriel’s personality type! Me and my friend, H, always think it’s hilarious that I have the same one as Galadriel because H always says I look like her. I do to an extent, actually...it’s mostly in the hair. Once I took a selfie and I was unwittingly making what we have dubbed ‘the Galadriel face’ and my hair was all wavy from being in braids, and it was freaky how much I looked like Galadriel in that picture. Like...really weird.
Love the quotes, too. The whole Po-ta-toes scene is just the best thing ever and always will be. XD
