March 25th is the day the Ring was destroyed. To commemorate that fateful day, the Tolkien Society has established March 25th as Tolkien Reading Day, a time to gather with friends to read favourite passages from their favoured author.
Each year the TS suggests a different theme. This year's theme is service and sacrifice.There are innumerable passages, from Galadriel's decision to aid the quest of the Fellowship even though it means the passing of Lothlorien, to Bilbo's decision to pass on the Arkenstone and sunder his friendship with the dwarves, to Sam's decision to aid Frodo on the quest. I've even seen someone suggest this best doggie: Quote:

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
―The Return of the King
