These are hard to come up with... much harder than the opposite quotes.

At any rate, that is correct.

Guinevere 10-13-2004 09:48 AM

OK, I have tried to compose a new one...
Quote:

It is dangerous for perishable humans to leave this sunny earth and formerly not many returned from there untransformed

Oddwen 11-12-2004 09:45 PM

And a good try it seems, Guinevere. How about a hint?

Guinevere 11-13-2004 07:41 AM

It's in TTT. And the sentence ends with: "... 'tis said."

Firefoot 11-13-2004 08:10 AM

I actually found this a long time ago, and then forgot about the thread... :rolleyes:
Quote:

"For it is perilous for mortal man to walk out of the world of this Sun, and few of old came thence unchanged, 'tis said."
Faramir talking to Frodo about Lothlorien.

Guinevere 11-13-2004 08:16 AM

correct, as usual, Firefoot! :)

Quote:

"Yet how come we don't murder them fast, murder them immediately? They're a confounded annoyance, and we're in need of haste. Night will be here soon, and we should be leaving."
Sorry for the delay.

"But why not kill them quick, kill them now? They're a cursed nuisance and we're in a hurry. Evening is coming on and we ought to get a move on."

An orc says so in "The Uruk Hai"

Firefoot 11-27-2004 07:04 AM

Right-o!

Evisse the Blue 11-27-2004 07:37 AM

Ok thanks.

"should it be imperative for you to leave, allow me to go after you on horseback. Because I am tired of hiding among the slopes and desire to charge forward into danger and war."

Oddwen 11-27-2004 06:33 PM

"If you must go, then let me ride in your following. For I am weary of skulking in the hills, and wish to face peril and battle."

Eowyn said that to Aragorn in "The Passing of the Grey Company".

Evisse the Blue 11-28-2004 04:10 AM

Yes, that's it.

Oddwen 11-28-2004 08:33 PM

Thank you.
 
"Always my ventricles pulse as we come close to the great hills. There is favorable stone here. This place has strong structure."

Rimbaud 11-29-2004 09:59 AM

TTT; Book 3; Chapter 7; Helm's Deep
 
"Ever my heart rises as we draw near the mountains. There is good rock here. This country has tough bones." - Gimli to Legolas, just prior to their friendly competition.

Oddwen 11-29-2004 04:49 PM

Abso-bally-lutely.

Rimbaud 11-30-2004 04:15 AM

Righto -
 
"Yet you and I know the veracity of this, that thy dwelling is not in this place."

Evisse the Blue 02-26-2005 07:15 AM

10 days rule...

"Because you are not lowly in your bearing, White Rider - and such a quality that you have is not without proper cause, for you posess both a keen intelect and a clear and farsighted visage."

If that is not wholly correct in terms of grammar, my apologies. Still, the meaning, I think, is clear.

"For you are proud, Gandalf - and not without reason, having a noble mind and eyes that look both deep and far."
Saruman to Gandalf.

Evisse the Blue 02-26-2005 07:38 AM

That's right, well done, Firefoot!

Guinevere 03-11-2005 04:34 PM

I don't know why nobody tried to solve Rimbaud's quote (post #96) ?
I think it must be from the Akallabêth, the messengers of Manwë speaking to the Númenoreans:
" But this we hold to be true, that your home is not here, neither in the land of Aman nor anywhere within the Circles of the World."

Firefoot 03-11-2005 05:07 PM

Well, I guess it's my turn at this (though Guinevere solved the harder quote, I think...)
Quote:

"I despise our location, as well, and I fear. I am unaware of the cause: neither the wargs, nor the black beyond the entrance, yet of another thing."

Evisse the Blue 03-15-2005 08:08 AM

Frodo to Boromir in front of the gates of Moria:

Quote:

"I hate this place, too and I am afraid. I don't know of what: not of wolves, or the dark behind the doors, but of something else."

Firefoot 03-15-2005 05:02 PM

Indeed. Please proceed. :)

Firefoot 04-15-2005 09:55 PM

*Bump* Evisse?

Evisse the Blue 04-17-2005 11:37 AM

sorry :)
 
"Should my ears be subjected once more to the phrase 'it is not permitted', I shall be driven into fury."

Oddwen 04-17-2005 02:21 PM

"If I hear not allowed much oftener," said Sam, "I'm going to get angry."

That would be a quote from Sam, RotK, "The Scouring of the Shire"

Evisse the Blue 04-18-2005 05:28 AM

Indeedy-o! :)

Oddwen 04-18-2005 07:51 PM

Alrighty-o!
 
"And your rough, noisy breathing would vivify a rock drake - yet we acknowledge you"

Galadriel55 11-19-2010 03:28 PM

That's the Elves of Rivendell talking to Bilbo when they woke him up in the middle of the night with their singing. I don't have TH with me though, so I can't find the exact quote.
