Hair, got a LOTR question = for ALL

In an editorial on Townhall this a.m. the following quote from LotR.

How could Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" (LOTR) be more appropriate for this hour, with quotes such as these from the Oscar-sweeping "Return of the King" - marking the end of Middle Earth's Third Age? (1) "(There will be) a day when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day, oh men of the West." And (2) "Let us together rebuild this world, so that we may share in the days of peace."

And could LOTR possibly be any less religious than Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" - with quotes from the final installment such as this: "The age of men is over; the time of The One has come"?

Does anyone know where "the time of The One has come" is in the book?

The last quote isn't in the book at least exactly like that... I did a word search for it... And I don't think it is in the film! It doesn't make sense.... the quotes would be something like "the age of ~elves~ has ended"... or "the time of men has ~come~".

No... that's a horrible misquote! It's from the movie, not the book, and it's "The time of the ORC has come."
