Enjoy these Lord of the Rings quotes from Gandalf, Sam, and the rest of the fellowship while having your second breakfast or elevenses (hobbit-style!).

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is maybe the most well-known and well-loved of all the epic works in the fantasy genre. There are so many distinct elements of the universe he built that it’s impossible to list them all.

From the grumpy dwarf Gimli to the at-once courageous and a little neurotic Bilbo, each character has their own entertaining and unique personality. There are no two characters that are even 75% alike!

Here is the finest Lord of the Rings quotations to encourage you to perform your best, as well as answers to some of the most often asked questions regarding the franchise’s most memorable phrases.

The Lord of the Rings

The novels in the Lord of the Rings series transcend time, language, and practically every other barrier that can be imagined. J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy trilogy has been translated into 56 languages and produced an equally enormous film franchise, as well as one of the most devoted fandoms of all time since it was originally published in the mid-1950s.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, however, isn’t only about adventure, elves, hobbits, and monsters; it also contains some truly smart and deep statements that relate as much to living on Earth now as they did to Middle Earth once upon a time.

Then there’s the real journey that the Fellowship makes. Who doesn’t want to be a part of an epic adventure with fire, magic, and courageous heroes? That’s right, no one.

Everyone likes a good hero, and Tolkien provided us with a slew of them — as well as a slew of classic Lord of the Rings quotes to go along with them.
