This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!

Huor to Turgon, I believe it was during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, in The Silmarillion.

[Guinevere]

Well done, Carnimírië! :) Your turn.

Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly. The sword Gurthang to Túrin.

This is about the Ringwraiths, Gandalf in Rivendell answering Merry's question if the riders hadn't all been destroyed in the flood:

"We hope that they were all unhorsed and unmasked and so made for a while less dangerous, but we must find out for certain.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That was the quote I was looking for! Good work :)

[Guinevere]

"And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord. And Aragorn is dangerous, and Legolas is dangerous. You are beset with dangers, Gimli son of Glóin; for you are dangerous yourself, in your own fashion." Gandalf to Gimli.

It's Gandalf to Beorn."There we were with the wolves going mad underneath us and the forest beginning to blaze in places, when the goblins came down from the hills and discovered us.

Then Ecthelion said at last: "Now no further proof is needed; and even the name he claims as son of Huor matters less than this clear truth, that he comes from Ulmo himself."
