Bon, j'avoue que je connais 10000 citations des films, mais presque aucune des livres (tout simplement parce que je les ai lus moins souvent que je n'ai vu les films).
Mais comme certaines citations des films proviennent des livres, je me sens moins coupable!
Ma citation préférée de chez préférée, c'est le monologue de Sam à la fin des Deux Tours, quand Frodo vient juste d'échapper aux Nazguls ("les Nazguls! A couvert!") et qu'il a failli attaquer Sam parce qu'il est sous l'emprise de l'Anneau. Je trouve que ça représente bien l'optimisme de Sam et je m'y retrouve aussi pas mal.
Je vous la mets en anglais.
"Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. "
