who said:
1.
"Elves and Dragons! Cabbages and potatoes are better for you

2. "I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed. I felled the black serpent. A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!"

3. " There is a third kind: pickers of bones, meddlers in other mens sorrows, carrionfowl that grow fat on war. What aid have you ever brought, Stormcrow?"

TolkienGurl

09-29-2002, 03:33 PM

Who said it:

What do you mean by it? Up to no good, I'll warrant! Spying on the private business of my people, I guess! Thieves, I shouldn't be surprised to learn! Murderers and friends of Elves, not unlikely! Come! What have you got to say?

Fallen King of Angmar

09-29-2002, 06:19 PM

Morgoth- Ted Sandyman is correct.

TolkienCurl I have no clue, it sounds alittle like Gollum talking but it can't be him because it says "my people"

who said this:

May! Let us make war swiftly! Have we not rested from strife overlong, and is not our strength now renewed? Shall one alone contest with us forever?

here's a hint. Its someone to the other Valar.

Gandalf talking about Pippin swearing oath to service of Minas Tirith?

See, half-brother! This is sharper than thy tongue. Try but once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls.

Fallen King of Angmar

WHO has proved mightiest???

You have proved mightiest, and all your labours have gone well.

Joy

09-30-2002, 09:47 PM

Merilot Yet sworn word may strengthen quaking heart. That was Gimli to Elrond after making the decision to go with the fellowship. Gimli said something to the effect that he would never turn back, no matter how dark it became.

Fallen: You have proved mightiest, and all your labours have gone well. This was Treebeard talking to Gandalf.

When someone gets a question right, it is their turn to ask the next quote.

Are we not going by that in this thread?

Morgoth Bauglir

10-01-2002, 08:48 PM

fallen, is that fingon?

Joy

10-01-2002, 09:07 PM

Fallen, it is Fingon's prayer to Manwë as he prepares to shoot Maedhros.

Fallen King of Angmar

Morgoth Bauglir

10-02-2002, 12:19 PM

just wondering, how was it not my turn?i answered rightly

anyways...in reply to joys quote is it saruman to frodo?

merlilot

10-02-2002, 04:08 PM

Morgoth, probably the poser of the question wanted the conditons of the sentence as well, or at least more info. Or he could simply have overlooked you, as I have done myself before. No offense intended, just a mistake.

And even though I can't say this officially, you were right on that one...

Fallen King of Angmar

10-02-2002, 06:00 PM

ack! sorry morg didn't mean to miss you.

btw I think you are right on the Saruman to Frodo.....

Morgoth Bauglir

10-02-2002, 08:16 PM

hehe its np, didnt mean to be offensive (hope u didnt take it that way). Just wondering. Thanks!

Thank you such much, Legolas. This is an expectationaly easy one, but it is from one of my favorite characters, which I believe deserves more recognition! Long live those who show respect to the respectable, and still maintain their duties and responsibilities!

It is Gandalf, but where and about what?

I said in an above post where and about what Gandalf said it. Please refer to that for my answer which hopefully is correct, Russandol.

"He who cannot cast a treasure away at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

Russandol

01-30-2003, 11:24 AM

Sorry to dash your hopes Dondagnirion but Pippin & palantirs have nothing to do with this quote.

[ January 30, 2003: Message edited by: Russandol ]

Dondagnirion

01-30-2003, 01:11 PM

Could it have been Gandalf to Frodo after he woke up in Rivindell? (Did I just mispell Rivindell?, not all that shure how to spell it I must admit.)

Dondagnirion
"He who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

Russandol

01-30-2003, 01:12 PM

Keep trying!

Dondagnirion

01-31-2003, 09:43 AM

Could it be Gandalf about the severe casualties at the Battle Of Helms Deep? Running out of geusses here. I should steal Beren's brain and absorb his knowledge, MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

Dondagnirion
"He who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

Russandol

02-01-2003, 05:04 PM

I'll give you a teensy clue - It was Gandalf - reflecting on a battle, but not Helms Deep.

Dark Shadow

02-02-2003, 07:12 AM

Is it Gandalf about the battle at Osgiliath (after Faramir and his men have returned to Minas Tirith)?

Dondagnirion

02-02-2003, 10:27 AM

I would say then that it is Gandalf reflecting on the battle at Minas Tirith in ROTK, because of the loss of Theoden comforting everyone by reminding them it could have gone much worse.

Dondagnirion
"He who cannot cast a treasure away at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

Russandol

02-02-2003, 10:47 AM

It's Gandalf reflecting on a battle wasn't in the body of the story at all.

That's my final clue.

Dark Shadow

02-02-2003, 11:42 AM

Ok, completely random, but is he talking about the last alliance??

Dondagnirion

02-02-2003, 02:31 PM

Was it perhaps Gandalf about the Battle Of The Five Armies? Thanks for all the clues btw.

Dondagnirion
"He who cannot cast a treasure away at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

Iarwain

02-02-2003, 08:56 PM

I believe that it is Gandalf talking about his confrontation with Denethor, and how things would have gone far worse had Merry and Pippin stayed behind as Elrond intended.

Dondagnirion

03-13-2003, 10:38 AM

Would anyone mind if I revived this thread or something? Russandol seems to have forgotten about this thread.

Is it Saruman saying it to Grima?

Still no.

I'll give a hint though, it comes from FotR.

*grumbles as she paws through FotR*
Would it be unfair to guess Merry, Pippin and Frodo all at once? smilies/rolleyes.gif
I'll just guess Frodo...

It is, but you've got to find out to who. smilies/wink.gif

Sounds like a Pippinism!

I've now officially confused myself, however, I'm going to guess that Frodo says it to Pippin during the journey to Frodo's new home. If that wrong then it's Pippin to Frodo, same place. *holds breath*

Ah, nope. =P

Frodo does say it, and to Pippin, but also to others. And a bit farther along in the story from your guess.

I just read that quote!

Wasn't it Frodo to Pippin, Merry and Sam?

EDIT: The whole quote :
Sam! he called. 'Pippin! Merry! Come along!Why don't you keep up?'
The quote is in the chapter 'The fog on the barrowdowns'
