...Is it okay if I googled a bit of the reconstructed phrase?
 

If so, humblest apologies; but I had almost wholly filled in the words and I knew not who said them.

"So shall it be! Dear-bought those songs shall be accounted, and yet shall be well-bought. For the price could be no other."

Manwe in response to the messages brought to him by his heralds from the departing Feanor, "Of the Sun and the Moon," The Silmarillion

If I cheated then I surrender control of the thread.

Well, it's not my clue, but remember
that when Cadet Kirk reprogrammed the Kobayashi
(whatever) he got a commendation for originality
(or was it creativity)? :D

P.S. Not that anyone before's ever googled a quote search for
something like Middle-earth quote ......... . No
really! Never have! Right! Heh?

P.P.S. I am Shocked! Shocked! That anyone would
ever do such a thing!

Ah, Kirk, the original l33t h4xx0r...

Thanks, Tuor!

Personally, I have no problem with your methods. It was a rather obscure quote.
Favor us with a new one.

Excellent! I should have a suitable one up later tonight.

A fairly easy one, methinks.
