QUOTES
Aragorn has plenty of quotes throughout the books and the movies, but only a certain number "stand out" or are of real interest. Maybe he just has really great lines! The quotes are divided into two categories to avoid any mix-up; books and movies.
BOOKS
"But I must admit that I hoped you would take to me for my own sake. A hunted man sometimes wearies of distrust and longs for friendship. But there, I believe my looks are against me." (FOTR, Strider)
"I look foul and feel fair. Is that it?" (FOTR, Strider)
"For my part I forgive your doubt. Little do I resemble the figures of Elendil and Isildur as they stand carven in thier majesty in the halls of Denethor. I am but a heir of Isildur, not Isildur himself. I have had a hard life and and a long; and the leagues that lie between here and Gondor are a small part in the count of my journeys. I have crossed many mountains and many rivers, and trodden many plains, ever into the far countries of Rhun and Harad where where the stars are strange." (FOTR, Council of Elrond)
"Lonely men are we, Rangers of the wild, hunters – but hunters ever of the servants of the Enemy; for they are found in many places, not in Mordor only. ”Strider” am I to one fat man who lives within a day´s march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be secret to keep them so. That has been the task of my kindred, while the years have lengthened and the grass has grown." (FOTR, Council of Elrond)
"Lady [Galadriel], you know all ym desire, and long held in keeping the only treasure that I seek. Yet it is not yours to give me, even if you would; and only through darkness shall I come to it." (FOTR, Farewell to Lorien)
"I would have guided Frodo to Mordor and gone with him to the end." (TTT, The Departure of Boromir)
"Anduril! Anduril for the Dunedain!" (TTT, Helm's Deep)
"They may suffer me to pass but at the least I will venture it." (ROTK, The Passing on the Gray Company)
"Et earello endorenna utulien. Sinome maruvan a Hildinya tarr'Ambar metta" (ROTK, The Steward and the King)
MOVIES
"If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword." (to Frodo in the Council of Elrond, FOTR)
"War is upon you, whether you risk it or not" (to Theoden, TTT)
"I do not fear death!"(before the Paths of Dead, ROTK)
"Stand your ground, sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship but it is not this day!An hour of wolves and shatterd shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day, this day WE FIGHT!!! And for all that is dear to you in this world, I bid you stand, men of the West, and FIGHT!!!" (to the Allied army before Mordor, ROTK)
"No, my friends...you bow to no one" (to the hobbits in Minas Tirith, ROTK)
