Samwise, in Lothlórien after "roosting like a bird" and "trying to walk like a spider".

Yep! Your turn.

I do believe that sounds like Labadal, Turin's friend. Said after Turin gave him a gift of a tool he had found lying around. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-25-2002, 10:43 AM

Yep! Sador Labadal is correct!

Ok, how about this one:

"They are sailing, sailing, sailingover the sea, they are going into the West and leaving us."

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-26-2002, 03:58 PM

Samwise, holding forth at the Green Dragon.

The Half-Hobbit · 03-27-2002, 12:12 PM

You got it! I love that quote. Sam is such the little poet.

Eowyn of Ithilien · 04-02-2002, 09:07 PM

I'm probably wrong :/ but Celeborn expressed a similar sentiment when speaking to Aragorn

Belsirithil · 04-03-2002, 06:38 PM

Are you talking to me, Eowyn?? You said "similar," though... "Chris Garies" is my deceased dad.I always use his quotes now.

HerenIstarion · 04-04-2002, 02:09 AM

neither Celeborn, nor Belsirithil's father

Belsirithil · 04-04-2002, 03:31 PM

Huh? My dad said that, darn it! Are you denying it? People may say, "Life's not fair," but only my dad said, "Life's not supposed to be fair." At least, he's the only one I've heard say that, or even heard of.

Eowyn of Ithilien · 04-05-2002, 05:04 AM

lol no, sorry, I was talking about HI's quote

04-06-2002, 02:59 PM

Who said this (It's really easy)
"Don't be too eager to deal out death and judgement..."

Altariel · 04-06-2002, 03:12 PM

Gandalf, to Frodo. When Frodo says that he wishes Bilbo had "killed that wretched creature" (Gollum), Gandalf says (this is not exactly right) "Many live that deserve death, and some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement..." Something like that.

HerenIstarion · 04-07-2002, 03:38 AM

Nice, yet first geuss out my quote lol

Lostgaeriel · 04-07-2002, 04:19 AM

Hi HerenIstarion!

To answer your quote...

Quote:

For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream

That was Legolas to Gimli, trying to comfort him as they leave Lorien. Gimli had found the beauty of Galadriel and now must lose it.

Lostgaeriel · 04-17-2002, 09:51 PM

Hey there, HerenIstarion! Where did you go?

Is it my turn yet? Pulleez? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 04-21-2002, 10:05 PM

Alright, I've waited more than 10 days for HerenIstarion to come back. So I'm going to ask one. Besides it is my birthday*, and HI ought to have given me the go-ahead as a birthday present! It is my birthday. It ought to be my turn.

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 04-21-2002, 10:51 PM

Happy birthday, Lost.!

I'm hazy on this one, but felt since it's your birthday, someone should play.

It was said to Aragorn, concerning the coming of the Dunedain from the north? By.. hmm.. I loaned my TTT to a friend of a friend.

Lostgaeriel · 04-21-2002, 11:12 PM

Hoom hmm, Marileangorifurnimaluim! Let's not be hasty!

Sorry, it wasn't said to Aragorn. But it is in The Two Towers.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Gayalondiel · 04-22-2002, 02:42 AM

Faramir said it just before he told frodo that boromir was his brother

Lostgaeriel · 04-24-2002, 08:18 PM

You got it Gayalondiel! Ask away!

HerenIstarion · 04-27-2002, 04:02 AM

I apologize for being late, yet you can always use "one week rule". Anyway you were right, Lost

Gayalondiel · 05-01-2002, 03:48 AM

afraid i'm going to have to throw this open; exams are getting to me and even if i had time to look up a quote i don't know when i can be back online to respond.
sorry. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 05-01-2002, 11:51 PM

Well, there was an instance where someone said it in Bree. (It was also said somewhere else.) But it wasn't Sam to Frodo in Bree.

HerenIstarion · 05-02-2002, 01:17 PM

t'was Pippin in Bree. but Sam said it too, in Ithilien, when let his master's secret slip and was afraid of Faramir

Lostgaeriel · 05-02-2002, 05:15 PM

Yep!

HerenIstarion · 06-01-2002, 02:52 AM

sorry for being so late, I just suffer from limited acces to the net currently

well, next one will be:

Quote:

Daniel Telcontar · 06-01-2002, 05:29 AM

Gimli or Legolas, before entering the Paths of the Dead with Aragorn?

Heen-1 · 06-01-2002, 03:51 PM

its gimli in the council of elrond.....they go back and forth a few lines too.

HerenIstarion · 06-02-2002, 10:41 PM

Heen-1, to be precise, t'was after the council, just when Company was about to set out from Rivendell, yet it was near enough answer to be counted as correct. You may proceed
