Those Little, Unimportant, and Unknown parts that we love...

[Essex]

Frodo talking to Sam about them being characters in a book before they reach Shelob's lair

We're going on a bit too fast. You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: "Shut the book now, dad; we don't want to read any more." '

That always brings a shiver to my spine.

And the lines about Merry after the battle with the Witch King

Merry to Pippin 'Are you going to bury me?'

Gandalf to Pippin regarding Merry 'He should have been borne in honour into this city,'

Eowyn to Eomer "And what of the king's esquire, the Halfling? Éomer, you shall make him a knight of the Riddermark, for he is valiant!"

always make me cry like a baby.
