"No, and I don't want to", said Frodo. "I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds?"

Frodo to Gandalf, in The Shadow of the Past.

Wonderfull comeback, Evisse, - I keep chasing you around old chestnuts unsolved in the quotes subforum just to confirm - yes, you've got it. And that one too, and the third one is guessed correclty as well...

LOL, sorry to send you running!

But things were dead in the Quotes forum, and I don't mean dead in a good way, like it should be here on the Barrows...

Next one up:

"I sure hope that Minas Morgul is destroyed and and rots in hell!"

Yes, I surely do...

Amazingly, I think I still remember this quote...or I think I do.

...that this is about Minas Tirith. I can almost bet on it. I just can't locate where something like this is it said, though! This is SO frustrating!
I'll have a stab at it: Denethor, right before his death, even though I don't remember what exactly he said?

Nope, it's not about Minas Tirith...it would seem the logical guess indeed but no. However, you are fairly close in terms of timeline...
