Most commonly quoted Quote - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'll tell you one my friend uses a fair bit; most recently when I was dithering over whether to talk to this certain someone:

All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

Unfortunately, he wasn't as persuasive as Gandalf, and regrets were had immediately.

I'd have to say

Quote:

“What is this new devilry?”

because it's so multi-functional. You can use it to describe a weird looking toy your brother or sister wants, someone's lame criticism of LotR, a new concept you have to learn in math (bah), a horrible movie (Gigli comes to mind), or pretty much anything else worth describing at all.

Especially after the film, "What's taters, precious?"

I always loved that line

I am often guilty of saying "Pass the po-tay-toes" at dinner. And at Disneyworld, when we entered a ride we'd yell "Into the miiiiiines!"

Other than that, I don't really quote any one line (from either the books or the movies) all that often -- it's usually just whatever comes immediately to mind.

EDIT: Wait, just thought of one. I sing "Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, etc., etc." simply because it irritates a friend of mine. She loves LotR but finds Mr. Bombadil very annoying.

"You're late" is a very common phrase amongst my group of Tolkien (or PJ-) philes.

I've also used "A wizard is never late, etc." a few times in reply.

I'm afraid the phrase I've used most is not from the book, but the movie:

Quote:

If you want it (/them/whatever), come and claim it!

Very versatile, especially useful when telling someone far away of something I have - freshly baked cookies, for example...

The word preciousss is a wonderful addition to any statement.
