The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 03-13-2007 08:02 AM

We have a winner.
 
That's the one, Guinevere.

Guinevere 03-14-2007 01:35 PM

Estelyn Telcontar 03-17-2007 01:42 PM

Ah, now I recognize the quote! It's one of my favourites from Roverandom, and it's the title "hero" speaking to himself:
Quote:

I don't believe half of them know where they are going to, or why they are going there, or would know it if they got there.
For some reason, that strikes me as being an appropriate remark about politicians! :D

Guinevere 03-17-2007 02:31 PM

exactly!
 
Well done, Esty! :) and I agree about the politicians.

Estelyn Telcontar 03-17-2007 02:38 PM

Here's another quote that could be put in the politician category...

"If I ran this country I should put him and his like to some job that they're fit for, washing dishes in a communal kitchen or something, and I should see that they did it properly."

Councillor Tompkins to Atkins, about poor Niggle. (horrible idea, living in a country with such principles!)

Estelyn Telcontar 03-20-2007 03:00 PM

Yes, not a pleasant sentence, but memorable for that very reason! You got it, Guinevere!

Guinevere 03-22-2007 02:34 AM

Thank you, Esty.
