From the movie:<P>Boromir's advice to Frodo about not carrying around the weight of the dead (on the extended version of FOTR).<P>And in the Book and hopefully in the ROTK movie:<P>Denethor "Stir not the bitterness in the cup that I mixed for myself. Have not I tasted it now many nights upon my tongue, foreboding that worse yet lay in the dregs? As now indeed I find. Would it were not so! Would that this thing had come to me!"<P>...It just makes me want to take Faramir aside and say "Hey buddy, your father has completely lost it!!!"
