First, there are about a million quotes that I love to pieces. And 500,000 of them are probably from LOTR. There are also bunches more that I adore from POTC and Lost...and Supernatural. So, I had to settle with what first came to me. :D Also, I have huge quote lists from HP and SW. And musicals, plays, novels... I am a quote collector.
Serenity ~ Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting. Malcolm: Define "interesting". Wash: Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die?
Another quote I love: "Always shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." ~ Les Brown
From the Aragorn/Arwen appendix in LOTR:
And Arwen said: “Dark is the Shadow, and yet my heart rejoices for you…shall be among the great whose valour will destroy it.” And Aragorn answered: “Alas! I cannot foresee it, and how it may come to pass is hidden from me. Yet with your hope I will hope.”
Arwen: I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I choose a mortal life. Aragorn: You cannot give me this. Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.
Catherine from Wuthering Heights , about Heathcliff: He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.
She missed him the days when some pretext served to take him away from her, just as one misses the sun on a cloudy day without having thought much about the sun when it was shining. ~ The Awakening, Kate Chopin
From Les Miserables by Victor Hugo:
If no one loved, the sun would go out.
Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves.
Narration from the Revenge of the Sith novel:
The dark is generous and it is patient, and it always wins. Yet in the heart of its strength lies weakness. One lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.
