I thought personally that <I>The Two Towers</I> had many more particularly powerful lines than did the <I>The Fellowship of the Ring</I>.<P>Some of my favorites, in chronological order, were:<P><UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>"How long is it since Saruman bought you?"--Eomer<LI>"Your words are poison."--Eowyn<LI>"This is a good blade, Haleth son of Hama. There is always hope."--Aragorn<LI>"Then I shall die as one of them!"--Aragorn<LI>"Release the River!"--Treebeard<LI>Just about everything Sam says after they meet Faramir.</UL><P>There are many more which moved me, particularly with regards to Theoden at Helm's Deep, and Treebeard on the Last March of the Ents, but I did not want to list ones that have already been mentioned several times in this thread.<P>Cheers,<BR>Angmar
