” ‘And would you have you proud folk say to you: “There goes a lord who tamed a wild shieldmaiden of the North?” ’ ‘I would,’ said Faramir. And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky.”

Viggo Mortensen: The best gift, the best souvenir, is in here and in here, you know. It’s the memory of working with these people, the friendships that developed.

Christopher Lee: What you have achieved is sheer magic, all of you. All of you. And I think that is the oporative word: all of you. You are the greatest crew I have ever known.

John Rhys-Davies: I’m astonished when I come back—in year four now—that I still find the same passion and—and dedication, and love for what we do.

Some gifts that the cast received at the end of filming, as well as speeches that were given at the wrap party.

All that is gold does not glitter;
all that is long does not last,
All that is old does not wither;
not all that is over is past.

Not all that have fallen are vanquished;
a king may yet be without crown,
A blade that was broken be brandished; 
and towers that were strong may fall down.
