Quotes:

voiceover: And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend; legend became myth.

Sauron: You cannot hide. I see you. There is no life in the void. Only death.

Aragorn: Are you frightened?::Frodo: Yes.::Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you.

Frodo: What do you want?::Aragorn: A little more caution from you; that is no trinket you carry.::Frodo: I carry nothing.::Aragorn: Indeed. I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift.

Boromir: [holding the ring after Frodo has lost it] It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.

Sam: I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to.

Aragorn: If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword...::Legolas: And you have my bow.::Gimli: And *my* axe.::Boromir: You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.

Elrond: Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the fellowship of the ring.::Pippin: Great! Where are we going?

Gandalf: They are one; the ring and the Dark Lord. Frodo, he must never find it.::Frodo: [gets up to hide the ring] All right. We'll put it away. We'll keep it hidden, we'll never speak of it again. No one knows it's here, do they? [Gandalf doesn't answer]::Frodo: Do they, Gandalf?

Elrond: His strength returns.::Gandalf: That wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life.::Elrond: And yet, to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the Hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil.::Gandalf: It is a burden he should never have had to bear. We can ask no more of Frodo.::Elrond: Gandalf, the enemy is moving. Sauron's forces are massing in the East; his eye is fixed on Rivendell. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us. Our list of allies grows thin.::Gandalf: His treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Saruman has crossed Orcs with goblin men. He's breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and cover great distance at speed. Saruman is coming for the Ring.::Elrond: This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. We do not have the strength to withstand both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here. This evil belongs to all of Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to end it. The time of the Elves is over, my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They toil away in caverns, seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of others.::Gandalf: It is in Men that we must place our hope.::Elrond: Men? Men are weak. The Blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of Men failed.::Elrond: [scene switches to a flashback of Elrond and Isildur] Isildur, hurry, follow me.::Elrond: [voiceover] I led Isildur deep into the fires of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, the one place it could be destroyed.::Elrond: Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!::Isildur: No.::[walks away]::Elrond: Isildur!::[cuts back to present]::Elrond: Isildur kept the Ring. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. There's no strength left in the world of Men. They're scattered, divided, leaderless.::Gandalf: There is one who could unite them. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor.::Elrond: He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile.

Quotes:

[last words]::[looking at two daggers, picks one]::Gracchus: Prettier...

Marcus Licinius Crassus: Great merciful bloodstained gods! Your pardon.

Spartacus: And maybe there's no peace in this world, for us or for anyone else, I don't know. But I do know that, as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves.

Batiatus: A good body with a dull brain is as cheap as life itself.

Gracchus: This republic of ours is something like a rich widow. Most Romans love her as their mother but Crassus dreams of marrying the old girl to put it politely.

Spartacus: What's your name?::Draba: You don't want to know my name. I don't want to know your name.::Spartacus: Just a friendly question.::Draba: Gladiators don't make friends. If we're ever matched in the arena together, I have to kill you.

Gracchus: You and I have a tendency towards corpulence. Corpulence makes a man reasonable, pleasant and phlegmatic. Have you noticed the nastiest of tyrants are invariably thin?

Batiatus: Come with us. See to it I don't misuse the money.::Gracchus: Don't be ridiculous. I'm a Senator.

Antoninus: Are you afraid to die, Spartacus?::Spartacus: No more than I was to be born.

Batiatus: Good luck, and may fortune smile upon... most of you.
