First age quotes

[Urwen]

"She won't come back"

[Galadriel55]

Urwen, I have a feeling that no one can think of the answer for this one, so you'll probably have to give us another one.

[Almesiva Moonshadow]

"She won't come back"

Was it perhaps Brandir talking to Turin about Nienor Niniel???

[Urwen]

Nope. But close.

Hint: It involves my namesake...

[Galadriel55]

Is it when Turin asks why can't he say "Lalaith" anymore, and Morwen answers that she's dead?

[Galadriel55]

My bad - I just checked, and Sador Labadal said that, not Morwen. He was answering Turin's question as to what happened to Lalaith.

[Urwen]

Yup. Your turn

[Galadriel55]

Who said this one:

"And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright."

[Almesiva Moonshadow]

Who said this one:

"And maybe there is woe enough yet to come, though still hope may seem bright."

Was it Galadriel saying that by any chance???:p

[Galadriel55]

Was it Galadriel saying that by any chance???:p

Yes it was! She said it to Melian when she questioned her about the Noldor and the reason for their return.
Go ahead!

[Almesiva Moonshadow]

Okay, here is an easy one::smokin:
"Here I have found what I sought not indeed"
:D

[Galadriel55]

Is that Beren to Thingol, talking about Luthien? When she brought Beren to Menegroth, and Thingol questioned him about what he was seeking in Doriath...?

[Almesiva Moonshadow]

Is that Beren to Thingol, talking about Luthien? When she brought Beren to Menegroth, and Thingol questioned him about what he was seeking in Doriath...?

Yep, you got it right. I said it was an easy one,didnt I?
Its your turn again...go ahead...:smokin:

[Galadriel55]

This one's either really obvious or pretty difficult:
"Surely there is healing in Aman?"

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Was it Finwe?

[Galadriel55]

Correct!!!

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its promise."

[Galadriel55]

I haven't forgotten about this thread, MellyrnMaiden, but I still can't find the answer! If it wasn't 1st age quotes we were supposed to guess, I'd say Gandalf said it. However, Gandalf didn't say anything such in the first age, so I'll have to think of someone else. Er................Melian?

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Neither said it, Galadriel55 :D hehe.

Let me see if I can give a hint without giving it away, Hmm..

He had four siblings; two sisters, a brother and a half brother.

I've probably just given it away, too. :p If not and you still can't figure it out, I'll try for another hint.

[Galadriel55]

Would it be Fingolfin? After your clue, I thought it's Finarfin, but he doesn't speak much... So, my guess if Fingolfin.

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

I knew I would give it away. :p Yup, it's Fingolfin!

[Galadriel55]

Thanks! Yeah, you kind of gave it away when you said "half-brother". There aren't that many half-brothers in ME. :p
And cool avatar, btw!

"Blackheart! I have done thy bidding. But I hunger still."

[Blind Guardian]

Ungoliant!

Blind Guardian said, "Blackheart show me what you hold in hand." :)

[Galadriel55]

Correct, BG!

[Blind Guardian]

"Fair shall the end be, though long and hard shall be the road!"

[Galadriel55]

Was that Feanor, talking to the Noldor and Manwe's heralds when he was departing to ME?

[Blind Guardian]

&%^$...



I didn't think it was that easy! OK, your turn again.

[Galadriel55]

It wasn't that easy, it's just that I like that part very much, and I was rereading it recently.

"For this he was born into the world."

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Ulmo said that I do believe :D

[Galadriel55]

That's right, MM!

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!"


I'll admit, I had to do a little digging to remember this one :D

[Blind Guardian]

Feanor, after the Kinslaying, when he got to Beleraind and burned the Swan Ships?

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Correctamundo as Fonzie would say ;)

[Blind Guardian]

Okie...*goes to find Sil*

'Come! It is time to go. If you will, I will lead you."

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Brandir said this to Niniel in hopes that she would flee with him from the dragon.

[Blind Guardian]

Brandir said this to Niniel in hopes that she would flee with him from the dragon.

Sounds right, although I don't have my book to check.

[Galadriel55]

I'm quite certain that MellyrnMaiden got it right. ;)

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

I don't have my book handy on me right now, but I believe it was in chapter 21 (uncertain of the page number) or close to it.

"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."

I'm fairly certain everyone knows this one ;) but it's one of the ones I have memorized, given as I have previously stated, I don't have my book.

[Galadriel55]

That would be Gurthang - the only known thinking and speaking sword! :p
Turin asked it if it would give him a quick death, and Gurthang said yes. (It's a bit awkward thinking "it" said, isn't it?)

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Correct ;) Indeed, it is a bit awkward. :p if a sword spoke to me, I don't think I would live long enough to tell the tale!

[Galadriel55]

"I am a better man with an axe than some, but I am not goat-footed."

[Blind Guardian]

"I am a better man with an axe than some, but I am not goat-footed."

I decided to Google it ;) Google says it's Dorlas in the Children of Hurin. Is Google right?

[Galadriel55]

Google is right, so I give the thread to Google. :D

Yes, you are correct, BG!

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

When in doubt, consult with Google. The one search engine to rule them all! :p

[Galadriel55]

I wanted to see if Google really is the one to rule them all, and lo! it isn't!!!:eek:
I've typed in my quote. Well, I got a lot of random Tolkien pages, but none that actually give the speaker!

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

:eek: There is a higher power out there other than google?! What madness is this?!

(I blame google for the current hijacking of this thread :p)

[Blind Guardian]

Sorry you guys we lost internet for a while. And now to find my book...

'And is he not Vala as are they and does he not understand their heart?'

[Galadriel55]

I think it's Feanor, when he's asked to give away the Silmarilli, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is about!

[Blind Guardian]

I think it's Feanor, when he's asked to give away the Silmarilli, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is about!

Melkor. It's right after Mandos says "Not the first." and right before he finds out the silmarils were stolen. ;) Good job, you must really know the book!

[Galadriel55]

you must really know the book!

I wouldn't go that far! ;)

"Nonetheless I will wield it while I may"

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Beleg! ;)

[Galadriel55]

Correct!!!

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue."

[Blind Guardian]

Guess: Mandos?

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

You would be correct! :)

[Blind Guardian]

'For rock and steel and the fires of Morgoth keep the jewel that I would possess against all the powers of the Elf-kingdoms.'

[Galadriel55]

That would be Beren to Thingol, when he asks for Luthien.

[Blind Guardian]

No, look again.

[Galadriel55]

Oooops!:o That's Thingol to Beren, at the same occasion. They both use the same phrase, so I got them mixed up!
Yeah, it wouldn't make any sense if Beren was telling Thingol that he wants the silmarilli...

[Blind Guardian]

;) Your funny

[Galadriel55]

;) Your funny

Why, thank you!;)

"For they dwell now in my realm, and are at my mercy."

[Urwen]

Easy one. Morgoth said it. To my papa. Speaking about me and my siblings. ;)

[Galadriel55]

You are correct, Urwen!

[Blind Guardian]

When did he say that?

[Galadriel55]

When did he say that?

In The Words of Hurin and Morgoth in COH. Morgoth says that he will bitter the lives of Hin Hurin+Morwen, and he adds this line.

[Blind Guardian]

oh, I have never read that. 'tis the bad thing about this thread. ; )

[Urwen]

To which my papa said "You have none". As expected - from my papa.

Anyway, my quote is:

I am your sister and not your servant.

Chew on that one for LONG time. Ellen Silla Lumen omentielvo.

And don't forget WHITE shores. Or GREEK GOD OF THE WIND

Good luck.

I included subtle hints. Should help you identify the speaker. :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Aredhel to Turgon, wanting to set off from Gondolin.

[Galadriel55]

Urwen?

[Blind Guardian]

Hey dude! *whacks Urwen over the head* WAKE UP!

[Pitchwife]

Hey dude! *whacks Urwen over the head* WAKE UP!
Oi, nobody gets whacked over anything in here! (Besides, as far as I know Urwen is what PJ's Nazgûl would probably call a "she-dude";).)
Anyway, this thread has been stagnant for over 10 days, so if you can't or won't wait for her to reply, you could just go ahead and post a new quote.

[Galadriel55]

Since neither Urwen nor Evisse (who I think is correct, btw) are here, and BeiGei and Pitchie didn't post quotes...

"Let him have peace yet awhile."

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Aulë said that. :)

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Aulë said that. :)

[Galadriel55]

Correct, Mellryn!

[Urwen]

I plotted to let this thread lie stagnant so you'd understand just how aggravated I am when threads in Quiz room lie stagnant. Plus, I too have life...

[Galadriel55]

I plotted to let this thread lie stagnant so you'd understand just how aggravated I am when threads in Quiz room lie stagnant.

First of all, aren't we all aggrevated when that happens? You don't have to keep up the "bad behaviour" if you don't like it, you know. :)


Plus, I too have life...

So do all of us. *sigh*;)

Well, anyway, it's Mellryn's turn.

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"For this is the Nauglamír, whose name is known to many among Elves and Men; and I bring it to thee out of the darkness of Nargothrond, where Finrod thy kinsman left it behind him when he set forth with Beren son of Barahir to fulfil the errand of Thingol of Doriath!"

[Galadriel55]

Hurin to Thingol.:D Hurin came to Doriath to blae Thingol and Melian for doing a bad job keeping watch on his family.

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Correct. :)

[Galadriel55]

"The King's grace is greater than you know"

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Maeglin :smokin:

[Galadriel55]

yup! :D

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here forever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!"

[Galadriel55]

Tuor, to Turgon, at the Nirnaeth. :D

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Not Tuor, but Huor. ;)

[Galadriel55]

Not Tuor, but Huor.

My bad! :o Why do I always mix these two up? :mad::rolleyes:


"Farewell sweet earth and northern sky"

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Er.

Beren? I know from where the quote comes from, just can't remember if he said it or not, lol.

[Galadriel55]

Yes, it's Beren. The quote is from the song that he made for Luthien, just before she came 'dressed' in Thuringwethil's shape...

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"Go your way therefore! Bring to me in your hand a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown; and then, if she will, Lúthien may set her hand in yours."

Too easy, I know. :p

[Galadriel55]

Thingol, to Beren, when the latter came to ask for Luthien. :)

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

I don't think you need me to say, "Correct." ;)

[Galadriel55]

I don't think you need me to say, "Correct." ;)

It's just politeness. You know. ;) :p Another fairly-easy one:

"If you fail her, it shall not fail to find you."

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Gwindor!

T'was his last words spoken to Turin at the Battle of Tumhalad; he was speaking of Finduilas. :)

[Galadriel55]

You got it! :D

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

"What is that to me? Of Fëanor I have heard but report, which makes him great indeed. Of his sons I hear little to my pleasure; yet they are likely to prove the deadliest foes of our foe."

[Galadriel55]

Thingol...?

[xMellrynxMaidenx]

Correct. ;) I wanted to pull out a random quote from the text instead of a well known quote normally used. You still ended up getting it right! :P

[Galadriel55]

I sort of guessed. The quote just sounded familiar.

We seem to be playing by ourselves, MM! :p

Let's try for another random quote...

"A king or the lord of a great host has many needs."

[Galadriel55]

What happened to this thread? How come it died down?

The whole Quotes section is kinda down lately. Dunno.

Let's revive it!

[Faramir Jones]

"You are not the Lord of Men, and shall not be, though all Arda and Menel fall in your dominion. Beyond the Circles of the World you shall not pursue those who refuse you."

[Galadriel55]

:D Yay!!! Quotes to guess!

That would be Hurin talking to Morgoth, if I remember correctly.

[Faramir Jones]

You're quite right!

[Galadriel55]

Thank you!

"A king or the lord of a great host has many needs."

[KingElessar]

Beleg to Turin?

[Galadriel55]

Beleg to Turin?

Correct! Your turn!

And wecome to the Downs! :D

[KingElessar]

'Take now the Dragonhead of the North,and when the time comes wear it well.'

[Galadriel55]

'Take now the Dragonhead of the North,and when the time comes wear it well.'

Thingol to Turin, about the Helm of Dor-lomin, when Morwen sent it to Doriath.

[Mumriken]

You're crazy, what about this one.
"He has bethought him of bitter cold immoderate, and yet has not destroyed the beauty of thy fountains, nor of thy clear pools."

[Galadriel55]

That's Eru talking to Ulmo about Melkor in the early Silmarillion chapters (either Ainulindale or Valaquenta or something nearby).



I'm glad this thread is alive again!
