Hey everyone. RKittle has informed me that if I or any member of this Forum send him some Quotes, he will stick them up top. So, seeing as you all know alot of good Quotes, I thought you could help me out. Just post your favorite Quotes up here (Try to make them more than "Let's go!"). With all of us together, Im sure we can get some very nice Quotes. And dont worry about them already being up there. RKittle can sort them out.

When they got near Thorin said: No rushing forward this time! No one is to stir from hiding till I say. I shall send Mr. Baggins alone first to talk to them. They won't be frightened of him ('What about me of them?' thought Bilbo) and any way I hope they won't do anything nasty to him.

What is that to you, Master Cook' he answered. 'And why should I do so? Isn't it mine? It came to me, and may a man not keep things that come to him so, at the least as a remembrance?'
'Some things. Those that are free gifts and given for remembrance. But others are not so given. They cannot belong to a man for ever, nor be treasured as heirlooms. They are lent. You have not thought, perhaps, that someone else may need this thing. But it is so. Time is pressing.'

'Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well. So up you get! Come on, Mr. Frodo, dear! Sam will give you a ride! Just tell him where to go, and he'll go.'

This sounds very like Bilbo and Gandalf's conversation at the beginning of FotR.

"No, they never end as tales," said Frodo. "But the people in them come, and go when their part's ended. Our part will end later-or sooner."

Thank you indeed, Gandalf the Grey! You know english is not my motherlanguage and so far i have never heard the word vittles before.

As allways, I will post Eowyn´s speach to Aragorn. Not only do I like it best, it also means most to me.

Quote:

Too often have I heard of duty! But am I not of the house of Eorl, a shieldmaiden, and not a dry-nurse? I have waited on faltering feet long enough. Since they falter no longer, it seems, may I now spend my life as I will?

and

Quote:

All your words are but to say, you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, ou have leave to be burned in the house, for the men wil need it no more. But I am of the house of Eorl and not a serving woma, I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death." "What do you fear, lady?" "A cage. To stay behind bars, untill use and old age acceot them, and all chance of doing ggreat deeds is beyond recall, or desire."

I love that qoute... YOU GO EOWYN!! Sorry, I´m just crazy. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

'Oh, they're both cracked,' said Ted. 'Leastawys old Bilbo was cracked, and Frodo's cracking. If that's where you get your news from, you'll never want for moonshine.'

Several of my favorites between Sam & Gollum:

Quote:

"Not a bird!" said Sam mournfully.
"No, no birds," said Gollum. "Nice birds!" He licked his teeth. "No birds here. There are snakeses, wormses, things in the pool. Lots of things, lots of nasty things. No birds," he ended sadly.

Quote:

"What is it?" growled Sam, misintrepreting the signs. "What's the need to sniff?" The stink nearly knocks me down with my nose held. You stink, and master stinks; the whole place stinks."
"Yes, yes, and Sam stinks!" answered Gollum. "Poor Smeagol smells it, but good Smeagol bears it. Helps nice master. But that's no matter. The air's moving, change is coming. Smeagol wonders; he's not happy."

Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon's throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet; but you will need more than one companion in your dangerous adventure.

-Pippin

Quote:

It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.

Good old Merry:

Quote:

Merry went to the door: "Waht about supper and beer in the throat?" he called. Frodo came out drying his hair.

"There's so much water in the air that I'm coming into the kitchen to finishe," he said.

"Lawks!" said Merry, looking in. The stone floor was swimming. "You ought to mop all that up before you get anything to eat, Peregrin," he said. Hurry up, or we shan't wait for you."

Classic Aragorn:

Quote:

"Well, I have rather a rascally look, have I not?" said Strider with a curl of his lip and a queer gleam in his eye.

It isn't really funny at first glance but when I thought of it as the future King of Gondor doing his best Elvis impression, well...

My favorite Eyown quote:

Quote:

"Where will wants no, a way opens, so we say," he whispered; "and so I have found myself."[/i}

I don't know why, but my favorite character in the books in one who hardly ever talks. I hope he gets some screen time:

Quote:

"This is an evil door," said Halbarad, "and my death lies beyond it. I will dare to pass it nonetheless; but no horse will enter."

"It is ill dealing with such a foe: he is a wizard both cunning and dwimmer-crafty, having many guises."

Eomer speaking of Saruman.

"Don't hurt us! Don't let them hurt us, precious! They won't hurt us will they, nice little hobbitses? We didn't mean no harm, but they jumps on us like cats on poor mices, they did, precious. And we're so lonely, gollum. We'll be nice to them, very nice, if they'll be nice to us, won't we, yes, yess."

My favorite quote? Well, that one's in my sig. Almost anything between Sam and Gollum is funny, and also everything between 'Stinker' and 'Slinker.' Gandalf's little speeches are always the most touching.

Quote:

'Make the other hobbit, the nasty suspicious hobbit, make him crawl, yes, gollum!'

'But not the nice hobbit?'

'Oh no, not if it doesn't please us. Still he's a Baggind, my precious, yes, a Baggins. A Baggins stole it.... We hates Bagginses.'

'No, not this Baggins.'

'Yes, every Baggins.'

Someone said- I think it was Carrun- that Halbarad was one of your favorite characters- that's funny. I always thought that I was the only one who thought so. Welcome to the club! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. My quote (TTT Movie):

Haldir-

Quote:

I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell. An alliance once existed between Elves and Men. Once we fought- and died togehter. We come now, to honor that allegiance.

Quote:

We are glad to fight alongside Men, once more.

He is also one of my favorite characters. It was sad when he died... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] . Getting off topic.
Galadriel-

Quote:

Your footsteps are to us as the strokes of doom. You bring great evil here, Ringbearer.

Quote:

welcome, Frodo of the Shire, one who has seen the Eye!

I'll post book quotes next time, it's just that I don't have the books with me now, and to quote the movies, I don't need the script. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Here are some of my favorites:

Quote:

"But if I should return, think better of me." "That depends on the manor of your return."

Love the Faramir/Denethor stuff.

Quote:

But beleave me, Éomer when I say that she loves you more truly then me. You she loves and knows as sister loves brother, and in me, she sees only a shadow, and a thought.

Dunno, something out that quote...

Quote:

and in such a war as we plan to make on the fields of Mundburg, where Denethor is lord, what would you do, Master Meriadoc?

I always loved that one.
