Faramir, The Two Towers

The Hobbit

— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

War will make corpses of us all.

I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn,

"I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil’s son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again!

I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here.

"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.”

You are a daughter of kings

You are a daughter of kings, a shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate.

a dark power

a dark power has found its way back into the world

There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for. - The Two Towers, 2002
