i highlighted all my fave quotes in my copy of LOTR to read them often. There are SO many. I'll go get them some other time for you, when i have more time, but here's some of my personal faves:

"The wide world is all around you. You can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out."
-Gildor Inglorien in Fellowship

"Starting is too great a claim for any, and only a small part is played in great deeds by any hero."
-Elrond

"It's a dangerous business going out your front door. You step on the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there no knowing where you might be swept of to."
-Bilbo

"Not all those who wander are lost."
-Aragorn's poem

"Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere."
-Elrond

"I will not say: do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."
-Gandalf

"So it must often be, when things are in danger: someone must give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them."
-Frodo (hmmm never mind, that probably wouln't be a good yearbook quote even though it's a good one.)

"The road goes ever on and on..."
-Bilbo

The quote in my signature is a good one too [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's all i can remember for now. And speaking of senior quotes...i'll have to start thinking about which one I'm gonna use, even though i don't graduate til '04! he heh... it'll be soo hard to choose because i have sooo many favorite Tolkien quotes.
Tolkien is the greatest!
