Nuranar, thanks for pointing out the misquoted quote, I think that does hold significance. Gold itself isn't evil, but those who desire it to get filthy rich are.
On the thing with Galadriel's "golden hair," and the "golden wood," the quote I gave Tolkien specifically refers it to the metal. As he compares it with silver, and comes out and says gold has an evil trend, silver doesn't. I think it's the actual metal, where the things and places that have a golden color can't be applied.
