Well, I just had to make this! I find that a lot of people tend to overlook Boromir's fantastic qualities, and glare at his faults. Sad, isn't it? But, we just can't neglect him as an important member of the fellowship!
And so, this is a place for those who do indeed appreciate, and even admire Boromir, to gather. Welcome!

Boromir Quotes
"This city was once the jewel of our kingdom. A place of light, music, and beauty and so it shall be once more. Let the armies of Mordor know this. Never again will the land of our people fall into enemy hands. This city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed for Gondor! For Gondor! For Gondor!"
"Gandalf's death was not in vain. Nor would he have you give up hope. You carry a heavy burden, Frodo. Don't carry the weight of the dead."
"I will find no rest here. I heard her voice inside my head. She spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor. She said to me "Even now there is hope left." But I cannot see it. It is long since we had any hope. My father is a noble man, but his rule is failing. And now our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right and I would do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it Aragorn? The White tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver. Its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?"
"You were quick enough to trust the Elves. Have you so little faith in your own people? Yes, there is weakness. There is frailty. But there is courage also, and honor to be found in Men. But you will not see that."
"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king."
"Remember today little brother, today life is good"
"My place is here with my people, not in Rivendell"
"They have a cave troll."
"One day, our paths will lead us there. And the tower guards shall take up the call: The Lords of Gondor have returned!"
"Give me leave Master Elrond, first to say more fo Gondor, for verily from the land of Gondor I come. And it would be well for all to know what passes there. For few, I deem, know of our deeds, and therefore guess little of their peril, if we should fail at last."
"A power was there which we have not felt before. Some said it could be seen, like a great black horseman, a dark shadow under the moon."
"But Gondor stands, and even the end of its strength is still very strong."
"The name of Moria is black."
"I will NOT go. Not unless the whole vote of the company is against me."
"In the deep places of the world! And thither we are going against my wish. Who will lead us now in this deadly dark?"
