Théoden’s final war speech, film version;
“Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!
Death! Death! Death!
Forth Eorlingas!”
Hits me every time. Hits hard, right in the heart.
For comparison, the book version;
“Arise, arise, Riders of Rohan!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!”

Edited by Hyperion724: 9/25/2025 10:47:41 PMThree quotes I like. One from a show, one from a game, one from a movie. "[i]The body is nothing more than a vessel. Your heart, your soul is who you truly are. And you determine the nature of your soul. You and you alone.[/i]" -Alice, Sword Art Online "[i]A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody [u]knew[/u] that the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago everybody [u][b]KNEW[/b][/u] the Earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago you knew we were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.[/i]" -Agent K, Men In Black [i]"Your society is based upon the technology of the Mass Relays. Our technology. By using it, your society develops along the paths we desire. We impose order on the chaos of organic life. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it."[/i] -Sovereign, Mass Effect. A few of the many quotes I like.
