My favorite quote in the Silmarillion is one of Eru:
Quote:
|
'Mighty are the Ainur, and mightiest among them is Melkor; but that he may know, and all the Ainur, that I am Ilúvatar, those things that ye have sung, I will show them forth, that ye may see what ye have done. And thou, Melkor, shalt see that not theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.'

There are many other quotes that I like in the LotR. My signature is one.
Gandalf: 'Too well he knew them all'
the Gaffer only has good quotes [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Best of all:
Tom Bombadil: 'What? Old Man Willow? Naught worse than that, eh? That can soon be mended. I know the tune for him. Old grey Willow-man! I'll freeze his marrow cold, if he don't behave himself. I'll sing his roots off. I'll sing a wind up and blow leaf and branch away. Old Man Willow!'
In the Hobbit it might be some of the official talks of Thorin: much speech but no sayings [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Yet it is long since I read the Hobbit so I do not know.
