The quote is from the Silmarillion. The fellow who said it was particularly underhanded. Any takers?

Is this quote so hard, or is nobody looking at it?

I've been looking, but it took me some time and brain-racking to find this one!
this is Denethor speaking to Gandalf in Minas Tirith: "For though the Stones be lost, they say, still the Lords of Gondor have keener sight than lesser men, and many messages come to them." (Btw : This is almost a lie! At least Denethor is deliberately hiding the truth about the palantir from Gandalf. )
