Yes, that was something of a wild stab in the dark. This, however, is not. It's Ereinion Gil-Galad, in a letter to Meneldur, king of Númenor. He is speaking of Aldarion and the rising shadow of Sauron in the East.

Right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(btw I was thrilled when I first read UT and saw Gil-Galad's letter: at last a bit more about that legendary but mysterious character... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but unfortunately it didn't go on [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

Yes, Tolkien did have an annoying habit of leaving his audience hungry for more. It's nice to see a little of Gil-Galad in his own words, nonetheless.

Whose words of wisdom are these?

Gandalf replying to Meriadoc who asked about Thrain.

Right you are.

Aldarion to Erendis. And he added: "I plant more than I felled."

Right you are!
I was gonna add that last part, but I figured it would be all to easy then...

Thank you, Mariska!

Shall I make the quote a bit longer ? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar, talking to himself.

Of course! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Perhaps it was too easy now for you... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I wouldn't say too easy, but it did help me find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finally found it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It's Cirion speaking to Eorl and his companions, before they go up to the Halifirien.

That's the one allright!:)

Catchup in UT Quotes Game
 

This is a pasteover from the old forum, so I can continue here. (I'm also pasting Guinevere's quote question):
question: Thanks! I hope this one is not too short:
My answer: Elendur to Isildur in "The Disaster of the Gladden Fields" as they are beset by Orcs.
Cheers,
Lyta

Guinevere's response: Yes, well done, Lyta!
(btw, since when are you a haunted halfling? I've only noticed it now. Somehow reminiscent of poor Frodo...)

OK! Now that I've got all that done, hopefully I haven't broken any rules! Gotta find a new UT quote! Here I go!

And thanks for the comment on my "Haunted Halfling" status Guinevere! However, I seem to have lost it again! ;)

Cheers,
Lyta

That would be about Gandalf, and how he felt towards the "little people". The hobbits of course. Say, I always thought that a "quote" should be something someone says or thinks.
Am I right?:)

Gee, Mariska, you've uncovered the flaw in my quote! It isn't a quote! But it is Gandalf, so the floor is yours! from Concerning Gandalf, Saruman and the Shire:
I had a strange feeling I was doing something wrong there! Thanks for pointing out something I should have seen much earlier!

Cheers,
Lyta

I'll join in :D I just love Unfinished Tales.

Ok, try this one!

It's a very short one, I know, but it shouldn't be too hard.;)

Got it!

It was the lame Brandir talking to Niniel Nienor.

You needed only two minutes to find it???:eek:

Good job! :)

:D This is the first time I got a quiz right!

That's great! Congrats. Now you can post a new one for us to find...

Guess who?

Aldarion to his father, when Meneldur had told him he would resign the sceptre to him.

Yes, that's true. Please continnue, Guinevere!

thank you, Eorl!

I got it... I think.

No, wait, that was in LOTR, said by Denethor.

*dives for a copy of UT*

Be right back!

Maybe in conversation between Thorin and Olorin?

Turin to Gelmir and Arminas

Correct, Estanesse! Well done!

Thanks Guinevere,

Echtelion upon hearing and seeing Tuor.

Very good Evisse the Blue , your turn :)
(But is it not Ecthelion :p)

So sorry. Typo.

No idea. Please have pity on us ignorant mortals and make the quote a bit longer, please.

I'm sorry but I forgot where where that quote came from :( it's been a while...heh...amnesia
I'll give a different, longer one now:

and the next one:

Correct on all accounts! And thanks for clearing up that mess. Not remembering the first one was really getting to me.
Please continue.:)

The thing happens. I for myself used to forget encrypted 'backward/another way round/quote that was not' thingies, so now I have a special file for it, where I memorize things I ask. Quite a handy practice, mostly recommended :)

next one:
