One from the movie:

Quote:
Bilbo Baggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks!!
- Gandalf
I love the anger in that and the way Gandalf grows bigger as the room gets darker. Not to mention the great look on Bilbo's face and the way he backs off.

Three from the books that come to mind, strangely enough all said in Rivendell:

Quote:
Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
- Gandalf
Quote:
When winter first begins to bite,
And stones crack in the frosty night,
when pools are black and trees are bare,
'tis evil in the wild to fare.

- Bilbo
Quote:
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
- Gimli
I could probably find more if I put my mind to it, those are ones that stood out for me.

My fav. line that I can come up with for the moment is from the movies. It's from RotK;
Quote:
"That still counts as one!!"

-Gimli, when Legolas slays a Mumakil all by himself

Any time that Frodo says Gandalf in the movies makes me laugh. Think about it. In the Mines of Moria after Gandalf falls, Frodo goes "Gandalf!!" and then when Frodo wakes up in bed in Minas Tirith at the end of ROTK and goes"Gandalf?!"

Then one of my all time favorites, "A wizard is never late Frodo Baggins, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to."

And also if you watch ROTK the bed scene which I mentioned above and Merry and Pippin jump on the bed and then Merry does sort of a swan dive onto the bed. Then next shot is a close up of Frodo's face but you can see the profiles of Dominic Monaghan (merry) and Billy boyd (pippin) and Billy looks like he says "What was that?" (I assume he is referring to Dom's little belly flop) and then he says something else after that and I can't for the life of me figure out what he says and I really want to know! If I ever met those two that would be the first thing I would ask them. but any way back to the quotes.

My all time favorite quote is Onen i-estel Edain, u-chebin estel anim, because it's so hauntingly beautiful; an inescapable doom is upon her. (It translates to; I gave my hope to the Edain, I have kept no hope for myself).

My favourite line is definitely

"Don't go where I can't follow"

(Sam to Frodo in Rotk)

My favorites:

"Not all those who wander are lost."

"I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will."

"Use well the days!" ~ Galadriel

"Saruman, your staff is broken." ~ Gandalf

"Hail Gurthang, Iron of Death! Thou alone now remainest. But what lord or loyalty dost thou know save the hand that wieldeth thee? From no blood wilt thou shrink! Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar? Wilt thou slay me swiftly?" ~ Túrin Master of Doom by doom mastered. My brother likes that quote and he hasn't even read the Silmarillion yet.
