“Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn!” - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

| Faramir and Eowyn by LMT-Xisa on deviantArt |
Lately a friend of mine has become really fond of Faramir, and his
personality. One of her favourite quotes from the Prince of Ithilien
is this week's Weekend Quote. For me, personally, the event happened
in the House of Healing is one of my favourite part of the trilogy.
Faramir's determination and persistence in his feelings towards Lady
Eowyn is just so touching.
Many
people don't like to be pitied. They think that if someone pities
them they are somewhat weak. They think pity is a subtle form of
mocking, that it is shameful to be pitied. They choose to look
strong, and deny others' pity.
But in
that sentence, Faramir asks Eowyn to appreciate people's pity. Pity
is a form of love, a “gift of a gentle heart”. When we face
disasters, calamities, or when we just feel down, pity is a kind gift
from a friend, a way of expressing love. We are thankful for that
manifestation of kindness from a caring heart.
That's my
quote for this week. What's yours?
