Suprising quotes in the LOTR

[Folwren]

Oh, yes, there were quotes that surprised me! This one that I'm about to put out made me stop reading for a moment and re-read it several times just to make sure it was there.

Originally said by Gorbag in the TT, in the last part of The Choices of Master Samwise:
There's someone loose hereabouts as is more dangerous than any other damned rebel that ever walked since old times. . .

I certainly wasn't expecting the swear word, and therefore it was surprising.

At least it wasn't Sam or anybody else.
