Quotes

'Aragorn is deeply aware of the burden of his heritage, and he carries the knowledge that, all too soon, he will have to reveal his true self in order to play his part in the fight against Sauron. That burden, that knowledge is what shapes and colours his perceptions.'

'There were plenty of reasons not to go. I didn't feel I could do a good job and I didn't want to be away from my son for that length of time. But my son was familiar with the books, he talked about them with his school friends and he knew about the character of Aragorn. He said, 'Oh, that's pretty cool. You should do that.''

'Aragorn is maybe the most physical character in the story, and that's part of who he is; his pyhsical courage or wrecklessness, depending on how you look at it, is part of what gets him through.'

 I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.Aragorn
