Aragon's speech is inspirational and I thought we could use a little inspiration and hope. We have only begun to fight! So hold true and press forward.

I find Tolkien’s dialogue more motivating than Peter Jackson (He-who couldn’t stand the Scouring of the Shire, and therefore did not include it)

It’s been years since I had seen LOTR. Interestingly enough, I just a few minutes ago finished watching this movie.

And yes, it was an inspiring little speech.

Men of the West

No question Tolkien was thinking about the battle vs. Islam.

I am expecting such a speech soon from Sarah Palin.

A day may come when the courage of Men fails


When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship


But it is not this day


An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Man comes crashing down


But it is not this day!
