Movie quotes

  • (..) You will unite,or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate,this one doom. Bring forth the Ring,Frodo. So it is true. In a dream... ...I saw the eastern sky grow dark... ...but in the West a pale light lingered. A voice was crying: "Your doom is near at hand. Isildur's Bane is found." (..)
