Found it! It's Ioreth talking to Gandalf in the Houses of Healing:

Correct, as always, Mariska! :)

Thank you, my lady.

Happy searching. :smokin:

Found it at last!
 

"Well, here we are and all ready," said Merry, "but where are the Doors? I can't see any sign of them."

Good work! :)

Thank you ! :)

Pippin to Aragorn. One of my favorite quotes, that.

correct, of course !
 

I think the reason why we play these games is not only the fun of guessing, but to have a pretext to post all those sentences we're fond of... ;)
(btw I like your signature! :) )

Yes, I agree. Thanks.

Anybody? Do you need a hint?

I've been looking at this many times! It sounds somehow very familiar, yet I haven't been able to place it.... (yet) :rolleyes: So a little hint would be most welcome ;)

Okay, how about this:It should sound pretty familiar now... ;)

Found it at last!
 

thanks to your hints ! :)
It's Boromir to Aragorn in the Council of Elrond:

That's the one!

thank you, Firefoot.

Merry in the Old Forest.

correct!
 

My goodness, that was fast, Firefoot! ;)

It just clicked, I guess.

Found it!
 

That's Frodo to Gandalf about Gollum:

"I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds?"

That's it! :)

Thank you!

Faramir to Frodo, in The Window on the West:

"Well, Frodo, now at last we understand one another," said Faramir. "If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honor from me."

That's right, Evisse !
 

btw: cool new picture, matching your colour! :)

Thank you, Guinevere, I thought so too! ;)

Next one is up (to steal another Downer's favourite's expression):

"What it ____ I cannot ____, but I have never ____ such a _______. The _____-____ was terrible. It nearly ____ me. For an instant ___ ____ left my ______ and began to ____! I had to speak a _____ of ______. That proved too great ___ strain. The ____ burst to _____."

Has to be in Moria...
 

"What it was I cannot guess, but I have never felt such a challenge. The counter-spell was terrible. It nearly broke me. For an instant the door left my control and began to open! I had to speak a word of Command. That proved too great a strain. The door burst in pieces."

Gandalf to the rest of the Fellowship in Moria.

That was fast!
 

Yep! You're right!

Rather forgot about this thread.

Sleepys Baaaack :-)
 

"He is a man of staunch will, for already he had come close under the Shadow before ever he rode to battle on the out-walls."

Aragorn to Imrahil they are speaking of I think Faramir.

Yes.

Sleepy?

Reviving
 

"Here's the _____ _____ with his _____ in a ____! He's been ______ a little _____ all to ______ and his ______ the _______."

Anyone? It's from the Hobbit.

"Here's the old villain with his head on a jug! He's been having a little feast all to himself and his friend the captain."

Yeppers.

Okay...

"_______! All ____ _______ it. It could be ______ like ______, and ________ like _____; and the _______ could ____ of __ a _____, light and ___ ______ than ________ _____."

Anyone?

If no one gets it by tomorrow I'll add a word or two.

See if this helps...

"_______! All folk _______ it. It could be ______ like ______, and ________ like _____; and the _______ could make of __ a _____, light and yet ______ than ________ _____."

Gandalf to the Fellowship.

:) your turn :)

Thanks.
 

"The ______ is not _______, as the ______ of ____-______ so often are. It should ______ _____ when I have _______ it. ______ it when _______ has ______ _______."
