Yes, the same thing happened to me with LotR, the Silm and U.T., when I partook in Quotable Quotes! When looking for the quotes I always got hooked and read whole chapters and more.
And I have found your quote  It's Farmer Giles' reaction to Garm's news that he had seen a dragon, but relatively far away: "Oh, away there!" "They're queer folk in those parts, I've heard tell, and aught might happen in their land. Let them get on with it!"

When something is done to domestic animals by seaweed wizards (who should be blistered and warted by animal watch for this, no doubt, and maybe even potted and jammed too), or maybe by Persian plum-pickers, other wizards tend to learn a thing or two, student in the case being Psamathos Psamathides...

Exactly!
(Btw, "Live and learn!" is also in the LotR, said by Sam, quoting his father.)

HI, I'm looking for this one, but it takes time. Can you give just one hint - prose or poetry?
