Ringer Spy Morgoth1970 sends along some great quotes from LOTR: FOTR from the LOTR Movie Calendar that you can pick up at your local bookstore, check it out:
The motion picture trilogy Lord of the Rings is an epic saga of good versus evil and the most eagerly anticipated movie event of the new millennium. Director Peter Jackson’s interpretation brings to life J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale. Full-color stills from The Fellowship of the Ring are featured, along with quotes and trivia.
In Eregion, long ago, one of the Wise gave unto the Elves the secret knowledge to forge great Rings of Power.
Three were made for the Elven Kings; Seven for the Dwarf Lords; Nine for Mortal Men.
But they were deceived . . . in the land of Mordor, he forged in secret, the One . . . the One Ring to rule them all.
For power can be held in the smallest of things . . . and used for the greatest of evils.
Thus a Third Age of Middle Earth began. History became legend . . .legend became myth. And some things that should have been forgotten . . . were lost.
Far away, in a quiet corner of Middle Earth, there lived a race of people. And though few in the outside world knew of them, the time would come when Hobbits would shape the fortunes of all.
