More quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

"Being a cheerful hobbit, he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed."
"The day will bring hope for me,"said Aragorn. "Is it not said that no foe has ever taken the Hornburg, if men defended it?""So the minstrels say,"said Éomer."Then let us defend it, and hope!"
"The treacherous are ever distrustful."
"There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."
