That's so close to being absolutely correct that minor imprecisions are pardonable, HI. Your turn.

thank you
 

To set matters right, here is the correct quotation:

And the next one runs as follows:

I have no idea where to find a quote that sounds like it could be right - can you give a clue, please? I've 'translated' the first part thus: "Make them go out! He won't wake them..." Is that close?

clues
 

One person was proposing to another to take his turn on duty in his stead. There was more than mere altruism behind the proposal :)

Guess it out quick or else I myself may forget the original...
 

well, well, there was a deadly foe [unexpectedly] dead in battle not long before the conversation took place, but matters were not resolved as it was expected, so more 'foes' (commas intended) came around.

HI, I'm trying to figure this one out, but I've paged through passage after passage without finding it. Can you give a clue as to which of the 6 LotR books it's in? That would narrow the search down!

LoTR? Whos said it was LoTR? Ah, wrong book altogether...
 

Dwarf and 'human' (commas intended again). In the book I quote the most :)

ah, and 'human' does not mean that he were, say, a wizard. Rather, one who would not need to stoop to shake hands with a dwarf, rather the opposite, dwarf would.

Ok, ok, no I almost said it, I can as well go and say that conversation took place between:

Hobbit and dwarf :)

Thanks! Looking in the right book is very helpful indeed! Bilbo is speaking to Bombur:

correct :)

Not to be forgotten and lost...
 

... the thread goes up...

Sorry, been away for over a week - will come up with a new one ASAP...

Here's an easy one to get going again:

easy :)

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own

The Hobbit

For you, of course it's easy! I was just hoping I might tempt someone else to try their hand at it, but without you, this thread is dormant...

Go ahead with a new one!

let us keep it easy, than
 

Though ugly are as ugly destroy, as they think in Landia

hmmmm, Sam says "handsome is as handsome does" to Faramir, but that quote lacks the addition of "as we say in the Shire", so I guess I'll have to keep on looking...

this thread should be of help, than :D

Ah, my second guess was the right one then. This time, it's Pippin, speaking of Strider, whom Frodo thought "looks foul and feels fair". Which goes to show that looks aren't everything! :D

correct :D

Here's a new one:

Is it the minstrel of Gondor at the Field of Cormallen?

That's close, very close, Saucy, but the one I chose precedes that one - a prophecy of sorts...

It was Sam to Frodo on the slopes of Mt. Doom.

Yes, Firefoot - that's the exact quote! Your turn now.

Thanks. :)

Can we have a clue please?

It's in one of the books 2, 4, or 6 of LotR.

I've skimmed all three of those books and still can't find anything close to what I think it should be. Another clue, please? Perhaps where it takes place?

I believe I've got it
 

That would be Gandalf in Moria:

as the Fellowship comes out into the hall by the side passage, passing the great crack of fire.

That's the one, H-I! Please continue.

‘Yes, such is her desire!’ shouted Loki. ‘She knows his heart well. She does understand he and the goblins could not let them die, not after the great feat they accomplished!’

As Frodo is allegedly derived from Norse Froða, I gave myself liberty of opposing to him Loki. So, hint is = the reversed quote is what Frodo spake :)

I keep coming back to this and I still can't find anything... another hint, perhaps?

well, goblins, obviously, is opposite of elves. 'she' in this case is Gandalf :)

I believe I have it...
 

"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.

That's correct
 

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... :D:D:D.

!

LOL, sorry to send you running! :D 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... :p

Next one up:

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

I feel like a hint...
 

Yes, I surely do...

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

Hint: It's been said by someone's bedside.

I have a feeling...
 

...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?
