Re: Favorite quotes

Anyway my sig is the quote I wanted to use.

Ah yes LOTR but the MP boards have been mostly inactive for eons now and we must explore "the road goes ever onward".
...it's important to be balanced you know......wizards and hobbits will agree.

on the python theme

"Listen, If you really wanted to join the P.F.J., you'd have to really hate the Romans."
"I do!!"
"Oh yeah, how much?"
"A lot!!"
"Right, you're in."

genius - british comedy is the best: but to make this a proper post my favourite quote is....

"AS HE FELL SLOWLY INTO SLEEP, PIPPIN HAD A STRANGE FEELING: HE AND GANDALF WERE STILL AS STONE, SEATED UPON THE STATUE OF A RUNNING HORSE, WHILE THE WORLD ROLLED AWAY BENEATH HIS FEET WITH A GREAT NOISE OF WIND"


profound use of imagery from tolkien to create a superb imagery

Re: Favorite quotes

The two Tolkien quotes that come to my mind are, "If you don't like my Burglar, please don't damage him." and "The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began."

How droll :lol

You dont become king just because some watery tart threw a sword at you....soon son all this will be yours. What?The curtains? Okay I'll stop
"Mr Frodo sir! Please dont let him hurt me sir.Dont let him turn me into anything unatural my poor old Dad would take on so"."And you Bill Ferny get your ugly face out of sight or it will get hurt" The leaves were long, the grass was green, the hemlock umbles tall and fair."One thing you have not found in your hunting is brighter wits here you find us sitting on the feild of victory among the plunder of armies and you wonder how we came by a few well earned comforts". Slowly his hand went to his bosom and slowly he held aloft the Phial of Galadriel....The darkness receded from it,until it seemed to shine in the center of a globe of airy crystal and the hand that held it sparkled with a white fire.
"Well this is the end Sam Gamgee"said a voice by his side.And there was Frodo pale and worn and yet himself again;and in his eyes there was peace now,neither strain of will nor maddness,nor any fear. His burden was taken a way.There was the dear master of the sweet days in the Shire.
Numbskulled ninnyhammer is what I call myself when I do something totally stupid and the bath song is fun to hum when your getting ready for a bath(well without the feet made fountain leaping on high )and when I go on a long journey I quote(under my breath)the Road Poem.

Re: quotes

Do we get to see naked Hobbits in the Movie?

Hopefully not Gandalf naked though: "...naked I was sent back..."

One quote that I left out, "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin is Treebeard? I want him. Quick!"

My favourite part of the whole book is when Gandalf is forbidding the Lord of the Nazgul to enter Minas Tirith, everyone is expecting doom and then "And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the north wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow, if I can."

"Get up, Master Bag!"

And this part of Return of the King still sends shivers down my back when I read it.

"... Presently he became aware that Frodo was singing softly to himself, singing the old walking song but the words were not quite the same.

Still around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

And as if in answer, from down below, coming up the road out of the valley, voices sang:

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath,
Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees
The starlight on the Western Seas.

Frodo and Sam halted and sat silent in the soft shadows, until they saw a shimmer as the travellers came towards them..."

"Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom!"

"The realm of Sauron is ended!" said Gandalf. The Ring-bearer has fulfilled his quest."
