The Rings of Power 1x07: Quotes
“- Despise not the labor which humbles the heart. Humility has saved entire kingdoms the proud have all but lead to ruin.” (Galadriel)
“- It is strange. Most of my life, I’ve looked east to see the Sun rise over the sea. And west to see it set over the land. We’re sailing into the dawn, and yet, to me, it feels like the coming of night.” (Elendil)
“- In the end, this shadow is but a small and passing thing. There is light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. Find the light... and the shadow will not find you.” (Bronwyn ?)
“- New life, in defiance of death?” (Bronwyn)
“- One cannot satisfy thirst by drinking sea water.” (Galadriel)
“- It is said that when Aulë created our people, he crafted us of two elements. Fire and rock. The rock that lives within us hungers for the eternal, resisting the pull of time. But the fire embraces truth. That all things must one day be consumed... and fade away to ash... (Durin III)
- Father... (Durin)
- We do not dig in earth that cannot support it. Delving into depths beyond the darkness. Tempting shadow, rock, and mine to bury us all beneath the mountain. I will not risk Dwarven lives to help the Elves cheat death.” (Durin III)
“- I would not use such words. (Galadriel)
- Why not? (Theo)
- It darkens the heart, to call dark deeds “good.” It gives place for evil to thrive inside us. Every war is fought both without and within. Of that, every soldier must be mindful. Even I. Even you.” (Galadriel)
“- And my husband. Celebron was his name. We met in a glade of flowers. I was dancing and he saw me there. The war seemed so very far away then. When he went to it, I chided him. His armor didn’t fit properly. I called him a silver clam. I never saw him again after that. What you said before...You’re wrong. It isn’t your fault. It’s mine. You did not intend for this to happen. I gave power to the enemy. So that makes me responsible. Some say that is the way of things. But I believe the wise also look upon what is in our hearts. And this was not in yours. Do not take the burden of this day upon your shoulders, Theo. You may find it difficult to put it down again. (Galadriel)
- But how am I to let it go? (Theo)
- There are powers beyond darkness at work in this world. Perhaps on days such as this, we’ve little choice but to trust to their designs. And surrender our own. (Galadriel)
- My home is gone. Where’s the design in that? (Theo)
- I cannot yet see it.” (Galadriel)
“- No. You lost on purpose? (Durin)
- My aim was never to defeat you, but to gain your ear a while longer. (Elrond)
- Elf lies. (Durin)
- I was... winded. (Elrond)
- I always thought you were a mite Dwarvish for an Elf. (Durin)
- And you are rather Elvish Dwarf, Durin. Son of Durin. (Elrond)
- The mightiest thing a Dwarf can do is to be worthy of the name of his father. We do have our secret names, for use only amongst ourselves. And we reveal them only to family. Wives, parents, sisters, brothers.” (Durin)
“- How do you expect me to move mountains, Father, if you fall to pieces when I dig a single hole? You speak of greatness for me, but you suffocate in me any ambition, any desire, any thought that does not originate in you. (Durin)
- The iron that must bear the most heavy of burdens must also endure the most rigorous tempering! (Durin III)
- Consigning your allies to death is not tempering. Elrond is as much a brother to me as if he’d been fired in my own mother’s womb.” (Durin)
“- Halbrand. I thought you had died. (Galadriel)
- Better for me if I had done. (Halbrand)
- Southlanders found him on the road like this yestereve. The wound soured overnight. (Arondir)
- I thought to try and treat him on the road, but... This wound needs Elvish medicine. Well, my friend. It seems fate has in store for us one more raft. This is not over. I will not abandon these lands and condemn them to burn. Nor will you. (Galadriel)
“- Whose is it, then? It’s your father’s. He’s grown too old, too suspicious. His mind, too feeble. His eyes too dim to see that no matter how many crests he hurls to the floor, one day this will be your kingdom. Durin IV’s. Not your brother’s. Not some other Dwarf-lord’s. Yours. And mine. And together, we will rule this mountain and all others before our time is done. That mithril belongs to us. To you and me. And together, one day, we are going to dig.” (Disa - So wrong is she, if she knew.)
