the hardest quotes ever!!!!!!!!!! - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Son of Númenor · 06-03-2004, 05:51 PM

Thanks, Guinevere.

"...and all evil things."

Son of Númenor · 06-06-2004, 02:07 PM

The quote is from the Silmarillion. The fellow who said it was particularly underhanded. Any takers?

Mariska Greenleaf · 06-16-2004, 04:15 AM

Quote:

'Get you gone, and fly!' cried Beren; 'for here is afire that shall consume you, and all evil things.'

Beren to Carcharoth.

Great job, Mariska!

Mariska Greenleaf · 06-16-2004, 09:03 AM

Thanks!

A new hard quote then...

Quote:

...many messages come to them.

Happy searching!

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-07-2004, 05:29 AM

Is this quote so hard, or is nobody looking at it?

Guinevere · 07-20-2004, 02:10 PM

I've been looking, but it took me some time and brain-racking to find this one!

this is Denethor speaking to Gandalf in Minas Tirith:
"For though the Stones be lost, they say, still the Lords of Gondor have keener sight than lesser men, and many messages come to them."

(Btw : This is almost a lie! At least Denethor is deliberately hiding the truth about the palantir from Gandalf. )

Mariska Greenleaf · 07-21-2004, 05:18 AM

Very good, Guinevere!
Well, I'm in a way happy that it proved to be a very hard quote...

Your turn...

Guinevere · 08-05-2004, 09:42 AM

Oops, I nearly forgot that it is my turn.

Quote:

the future is dead

Estanesse · 08-06-2004, 02:30 PM

Is this maybe

a quote from my Favourite character Aldarion speaking to Meneldur

Guinevere · 08-06-2004, 03:03 PM

Well done, Estanesse !

Estanesse · 08-06-2004, 03:10 PM

Thanks

Quote:

it will be time enough to think what to do about it

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-02-2004, 10:02 AM

That was Thorin, in The Hobbit, talking to his company (the other dwarves and Bilbo.)

Estanesse · 09-03-2004, 10:58 AM

That is correct

Carry on Mariska

rutslegolas · 09-09-2004, 01:26 AM

where's Mariska??

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-09-2004, 07:01 AM

I'm right here!!! *waves*

Anyway, new, hopefully, hard quote:

Quote:

I have lost myself, and I know not the way.

Beren87 · 09-10-2004, 12:48 AM

It's a line from "The Sea-Bell", so ol' Tom. Lothithil did a Fan-fic revolving around it, that I rather liked. It's always been one of my favourite stories.

Mariska Greenleaf · 09-10-2004, 01:10 AM

Well done, Beren!

Beren87 · 09-10-2004, 01:26 AM

Thanks.

Quote:

I've eaten so much already, I feel rather full.

Guinevere · 09-10-2004, 12:35 PM

Ah, that is from "Smith of Wootton Major"

. Little Tim says to Alf when he's cutting the cake:
"Dear Mr.Cook, only cut me a small slice please. I've eaten so much already I feel rather full."

Beren87 · 09-10-2004, 04:14 PM

Quite right (wight?). I used the quote because I gorged myself on rice-cakes last night. Delicious.

Guinevere · 09-11-2004, 07:04 AM

*g* Thank you, Beren.

Quote:

Merry is May-time!

Son of Númenor · 09-21-2004, 01:18 PM

Those words are sung by a few of the Fair Folk, during Bilbo's visit to the Last Homely House.

Edit: Here is the song in full:

Quote:

Sing all ye joyful, now sing all together!
The wind's in the tree-top, the wind's in the heather;
The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.

Dance all ye joyful, now dance all together!
Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather!
The river is silver, the shadows are fleeting;
Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting!

Guinevere · 09-21-2004, 01:35 PM

You are of course right, Son of Númenor, that "Merry is May-time " is in this song.
But I had really another person in mind who actually quoted it: "Merry is May-time! " with an exclamation mark! Can you find that too ? or is that asking too much ?
