What say you?

Sometimes, when i watch movies, certain lines that catch my fancy stick in my head, and i'm putting them here now, or what i can remember of them. i hope they are as close to the original as possible.

From Troy:
[voiceover, the first lines of the movie]
"Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? will people hear our names and wonder how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?"

[voiceover, the last lines of the movie]
"If ever they tell my story, let them say i walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names live forever. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say I lived in the time Achilles."

From Patch Adams:
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straighforwardly, without pride. I love you because I know no other way. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, i fall asleep."

From The Lord of the Rings:
Frodo:"I wish none of this had ever happened."
Gandalf:"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to choose. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

"From the ashes a fire will be woken,
A light from the shadows will spring.
Reforged will be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

"In the land where 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 where shadows lie."

Gimli:"I never thought i'd die fighting side-by-side with an elf."
Legolas:"What about side-by-side with a friend?"
Gimli:" Aye, i could do that."

Aragorn:"Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor and Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

"Home is behind, and the world ahead.
There are many path to tread.
Through shadow, to the edge of night.
Until the stars are all alight."

From Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
"Though we may come from different countries and speak diferent tongues, our hearts beat as one. The bonds of friendship made this year will be more important than ever."



That's all i can remember for now.

One of the quotes above was typed with some reference.
