Anyone got some good knife/sword related quotes?

“I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend”
-I believe it was the character Faramir from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

"A sword rang as it was drawn. 'Do what you will, but I will hinder it, if I may.'"
Eowyn confronting a Nazgul

"Therefore Morgoth came, climbing slowly from his subterranean throne, and the rumour of his feet was like thunder underground. And he
issued forth clad in black armour; and he stood before the king like a tower, iron-crowned and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a
shadow over him like a storm cloud. But Fingolfin gleamed beneath it like a star;for his mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was
set with crystals; and he drew his sword Ringil, and it glittered like ice, cold and gray and deadly."

-The Lost Road and Other Writings book II
 
"Hey, you got your knife on you?" This is the opening line that knifeless knife-wreckers always start out with, as they reach for your Sebenza, so they can cut wire and metal.
 
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
Long time the manxome foe he sought.
So rested he, by the tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
the Jabberwock with eyes aflame
came whiffling through the tulgey wood
and burbled as it came.

One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He came galumphing back.


Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
 
"Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt" -- Lao Tzu

“There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.” -- Isaac Beshevis

“You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.” -- Hunter S. Thompson

“Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction” -- John Owens

“If any man says he hates war more than I do, he better have a knife, that's all I have to say.” -- Jack Handy

I always liked the Simpsons version, during their trip to Australia, losely quoted:

Bar guy: "You call that a knive?! This is a knife!"

Bart: "That's a spoon."

Bar guy: "I see you've played knify spoony before."


or another version of one that's already been quoted a few times:

He who lives by the sword gets shot by those who don't.
 
“If one party resolves to demand what the other resolves to refuse, the dispute can be determined only by arbitration; and between powers who have no common superior, there is no other arbitrator than the sword”
Samuel Johnson
 
What a thrill ----
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hinge

Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.

Little pilgrim,
The Indian's axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
Carpet rolls

Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
Of pink fizz. A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.

Whose side are they one?
O my
Homunculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill

The thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur,
Kamikaze man ----

The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
Pulp of your heart
Confronts its small
Mill of silence

How you jump ----
Trepanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump.

"Cut" by Sylvia Plath
 
From the movie Leon the Professional...

Léon: The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.

One of my favorites:

"GHURKAS: Because a big guy with a little knife and a frown, is not as scary as a little guy with a BIG knife and a smile."
