This is a new thread of quotes on the LoTR, Silmarillion and the Hobbit. This also includes the appendices of the LoTR. No UT or HoME or anything else just the afore-mentioned books

"He turned to Eldarion, and gave into his hands the winged crown of Gondor and the sceptre of Arnor, and bade him farewell."</p>

Re: You should quote while you're ahead!

I will start it off with an easy one &quot;See half-brother this sword is sharper than thy tongue&quot;

From whom to who?

"He turned to Eldarion, and gave into his hands the winged crown of Gondor and the sceptre of Arnor, and bade him farewell."</p>

I can not be more concrete :D

But now the rumour ran among the scattered Elves of Beleriand that Dior Thingol's heir wore the Nauglamír, and they said: 'A Silmaril of Fëanor burns again in the woods of Doriath'

It is actually speaking of Turin and "bowed," no?

But Turambar was filled with shame and anger, and perchance he had slain himself, so great was his madness, although thus might he not hope that ever his spirit would be freed from the dark glooms of Mandos or stray into the pleasant paths of Valinor;" but amidst his misery he bethought him of Failivrin's pallid face and he bowed his head, for the thought came into his heart to seek back through all the woods after her sad footsteps even be it to Angamandi and the Hills of Iron.
