Another good one from the Hobbit...

Thorin Oakenshield's last words:

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

aaa my fave quote---so many to chose from

well of course i like "his name is pippin,a very valiant man"
another would have to be" who is this giant with the loud voice? not little pippin! what is your size in hats now?"
and lots by gollum o course what a funny guy
and sam had some good ones as well
of course Pippin is the all time wittiest

I've always rather liked the whole "good morning" bit Gandalf goes through at the start of The Hobbit.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie but here is one of my fave quotes (so many good ones it's hard to pick!) I thought it was particularly profound since it applies to life in any realm.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the wise cannot see all ends."

~Gandalf, "The Fellowship of the Ring

Myralis, I used that quote in an essay argueing against captial punishment. Too bad my teacher was completely oblivious to where it came from until she read the bibliography (sp?). Tolkien is so great to pull stuff out of to quote for all kinds of papers.

"Don't mess with me, I know Tae Kwon Doe!"
"Who?"
"That guy over there!"

Thats not from lotr, but i really like it

MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Hmmm....I like the "good morning" scene for its humor, and I've always loved the beginning of the Silmarillion, where it's describing how Eru leads the Valar in the music. I also like the part in Fellowship after Bilbo dissapears, and it says "One hundred and fourty four flabbergasted hobbits..." and I can't remember the rest of the quote. I just lilke "flabbergasted hobbits."

i forgot one - all of "the choices of master samwise"

whoever mentioned the "many that die deserve life" quote, i've used that to argue several points also. tolkien has quotes for every occasion.

What does "flabbergasted" means?

flabergast -to make speechless with amazement.
