Ugh!
 
I just caught the missing word from my quote. :rolleyes:

Hopefully, someone would want to get it now.

Hiriel 09-15-2005 09:26 PM

That would be Tuor to Voronwe, I think.

Quote:

"Maybe...But not in all lands is it safe to hunt, be the game never so plentiful. And hunters tarry on the road."

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-15-2005 09:31 PM

That's it.
 
Your thread. :)

Hiriel 09-16-2005 10:00 PM

Thanks.

I believe it was Gimli who said it when the fellowship was leaving Rivendell ;)

Hiriel 09-17-2005 01:34 PM

Indeed it was, Perks. Your thread.

Nilpaurion Felagund 09-28-2005 06:53 AM

*poke*
 
Oy! Perky! New quote needed!

Sleepy Ranger 10-01-2005 01:52 PM

Perky Ent? Where are you? We need a new Quote.

Sorry, I really forgot about this thread :D

Firefoot 10-02-2005 09:55 AM

Aragorn to Frodo.

The Perky Ent 10-03-2005 12:32 PM

You should know! You asked it around 4 pages ago :p

Your turn

Firefoot 10-03-2005 04:02 PM

Did I? Huh.

"Not all that speak the fair tongue are fair at heart."

Hiriel 10-04-2005 06:11 PM

Herm, that'd be Sador to Turin.

Quote:

'Mind me not! But though it is pleasant to speak the old tongue with one that speaks it fair as in time past, the days are ill, and one must be wary. Not all that speak the fair tongue are fair at heart."

Firefoot 10-04-2005 08:00 PM

Nice work. Your go!

Hiriel 10-06-2005 06:03 PM

Thanks. Herm, here's one.

Quote:

"It is best to love..."

Firefoot 10-06-2005 07:05 PM

One of my favorites.
 
"It is best to love first what you are fitted to love."

Merry to Pippin.

Hiriel 10-07-2005 06:52 PM

One of mine, too. :) Your thread.

Guinevere 11-18-2005 08:46 AM

It's been a while, so I guess I'm authorized to set a new quote:

Quote:

Wise man trusts not to chance-meeting on the road

Firefoot 12-05-2005 03:45 PM

Faramir to Frodo.

Guinevere 12-06-2005 08:04 AM

Correct, of course.
Your turn again, Firefoot.

Firefoot 12-06-2005 04:12 PM

I could have sworn I posted an answer to this ages ago... :rolleyes: Guess not.

Eonwe 12-08-2005 01:41 PM

a stab in teh dark: galadriel to aragorn?

Guinevere 12-08-2005 02:30 PM

Nay, it is Legolas to Gimli and Aragorn when they arrive at the edge of Fangorn.

Firefoot 12-08-2005 03:14 PM

Guinevere has it!

Guinevere 12-10-2005 10:01 AM

Thanks, Firefoot!

Dimturiel 12-11-2005 08:02 AM

Eomer to Gimli at Helm's Deep?

Guinevere 12-11-2005 03:37 PM

Correct, Dimturiel! :)

Dimturiel 12-12-2005 11:43 AM

Thanks. :)
Quote:

and the old linger, withering.

Guinevere 12-15-2005 03:55 AM

that's Théoden speaking to Gandalf:

"Alas for Boromir the brave! The young perish and the old linger, withering."

(Rather strange that he doesn't mention Theodred!)

Dimturiel 12-15-2005 11:26 AM

The thread is yours, Guinevere.

Guinevere 12-16-2005 04:53 AM

Thanks, Dimturiel! :)

Talking won't mend nothing.

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-18-2006 03:08 AM

*bump*
 
Anyone?

Guinevere 01-18-2006 04:06 AM

This is Sam, muttering to himself, right before he casts away his pans (and other stuff) in Mordor.

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-18-2006 07:25 AM

Good job!
 
Your turn. :)
