I'd like to see the O's

edit: I don't need them after all. After much brain-racking I remembered which quote starts with "But I say to you, ..."

"But I say to you, King of the Númenoreans, not till now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last."

P.S. That was uncanny, Guinevere - with only four letters! How d' you do that?

[Guinevere]

Well, as I mentioned, I had guessed "? (could be "but" or "for") I say to you, ? of the ? ," which sounded familiar... (first I thought it might be Huor's last words, but it wasn't that, then my brain churned it over until suddenly the solution popped up.)

"Aye, we will," said Gimli. "The legs of Men will lag on a rough road, while a Dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, Master Boromir!" - Gimli at Sarn Gebir.

[Inziladun]

'Aye, we will,' said Giml. 'The legs of Men will lag on a rough road, while a Dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, Master Boromir!'

Gimli explaining he is just as capable as a Man when it comes to carrying boats.

EDIT- Pitch beat me to it.

See text below.

Then going to the House of the Kings in the Silent Street, Aragorn laid him down on the long bed that had been prepared for him. There he said farewell to Eldarion, and gave into his hands the winged crown of Gondor and sceptre of Arnor; and then all left him save Arwen, and she stood alone by his bed. And for all her wisdom and lineage she could not forbear to plead with him to stay yet for a while. She was not yet weary of her days, and thus she tasted the bitterness of the mortality that she had taken upon her.

"Lady Undómiel," said Aragorn, "the hour is indeed hard, yet it was made even in that day when we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond, where none now walk. And on the hill of Cerin Amroth when we forsook both the Shadow and the Twilight this doom we accepted. Take counsel with yourself, beloved, and ask whether you would indeed have me wait until I wither and fall from my high seat unmanned and witless. Nay, lady, I am the last of the Númenoreans and the latest King of the Elder Days; and to me has been given not only a span thrice that of Men of Middle-earth, but also the grace to go at my will, and give back the gift. Now, therefore, I will sleep.

I speak no comfort to you, for there is no comfort for such pain within the circles of the world. the uttermost choice is before you: to repent and go to the Havens and bear away into the West the memory of our days together that shall there be evergreen but never more than a memory; or else to abide the Doom of Men."

"Nay, dear lord," she said, "that choice is long over. There is now no ship to bear me hence, and I must indeed abide the Doom of Men, whether I will or nill: the loss and the silence. But I say to you, King of the Númenoreans, not till now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last. For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to Men, it is bitter to receive."

"So it seems," he said. "But let us not be overthrown at the final test, who of old renounced the Shadow and the Ring. In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! We are not bound forever in the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory, Farewell!"

"Estel, Estel!" she cried, and with that even as he took her hand and kissed it, he fell into sleep. Then a great beauty was revealed in him, so that all who after came there looked on him with wonder; for they saw the grace of his youth, and the valor of his manhood, and the wisdom and majesty of his age were all blended together. And long there he lay, an image of the splendour of the Kings of Men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world.

From The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, LOTR, Appendix A.

We can see where Jackson got some of the dialogue between Elrond and Arwen!

[Erendis]

OK,I would have chosen a shorter way,but since I love this part...Anyway it's up to you.
Well done Mugwump!Your turn.

[Mugwump]

Sorry, I thought people might enjoy the context.

[Mugwump]

Haven't you forgotten an S in the fourth word, Mugwump? ;)
You're right, Guinevere! I think it's impossible to find a Tolkien quote that can't be Googled, but I'm astounded that you got it already, even so. :)

I'll correct it so Guinevere can confirm she has it, before adding the other asked-for letters.

ATHENS:

"_ E _ A _ E / _ _ / T H E / S _ NS / _ _ / _ E A N _ _ !"

[Guinevere]

Oh, it wasn't my intention to solve that one! (I'm too busy right now to be at the pc every day :()
I bet Tuor is on the right track too, since he asked for F!;) so go ahead and add the F's and O's

[Mugwump]

Well, it will be totally obvious now, so jump on it, friends! :)

P.S. - I always thought "Thingol" was a most unfortunate name. I don't remember his having any sons, which is fortunate, or they might be named Whatsit, Thingamajig, Fatgol, and Guy. :p

And so that we can spell bear in a tribute to the oh-so-excellent WereBear (plus it's the first word I thought of), let's have an E. :)

My clue was "Not one... to the North" - I just knew this had to be something to do with Orcs. Finding the precise quote took some rummaging - but this has always been one of the more memorable scenes for me. I mean, imagine the sheer cheek of the guy, standing there on a battlement about to be drowned in the black flood and threatening a host of enemies who outnumber him and his friends a hundred to one or more that "Not one of you will be spared"! And what's more, he's proven right! It's just great.

However, I digress. Rs, please.

Hm, I can see large parts, but have no idea where this quote comes from!
perhaps some N's would help?

Edit:http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Elrond/images/idea.gif I had an idea after all:

"You are one of the fools that spring would not mourn if you perished in winter," he said. "I had spoken my word, and so must have returned, willing or not, with sack or without. Let a lawless and faithless man think what he will!"

I have the quote, but I just can't remember the source!

[Lindale]

"But if they weary of peace and the plays of peace, soon they will go back to their great play, manslaying and war. Thus it is, and we are set here among them. But we need not assent..."

Erendis to Ancalime. I love this quote, and not least because Tolkien isn't too fond of strong-willed women. Let me continue:

"...We also are daughters of the great, and we have wills and courage of our own. Therefore do not bend, Ancalime. Once bend a little, and they will bend you further until you are bowed down. Sink your roots into the rock, and face the wind, though it blow away all your leaves."

[Guinevere]

Take it away, Lindale! (I thought Erendis was going to find that quote ;) )

If I remember rightly I have used the last sentence you quoted as a "palantir" some time ago.

[Lindale]

Yep, I remember it Guin; wasn't I the one who figured that one out too? I lurve Erendis! One of my most favorite female characters ever.

http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Elrond/images/idea.gif

"it is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts."

Aragorn to the hobbits about the tale of Beren and Luthien.

I love this quote, because it describes exactly the effect of Tolkien's works: they lift up the heart!
