I'm looking to get a tattoo of the Gandalf quote "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" translated into Tengwar. However it appears that most of the results of a "translation" I can find are actually transliterations which I would rather avoid. If someone could...

The quote is from the book. In the movies we can only hear it being sung in Elvish as a tribute to the novel. The quote says: "I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." In the movie...

is there a thread where people can post their favorite LOTR quote? I'm thinking more of a favorite description, or verse of poetry than most meaningful, but that would also be cool. A section of LOTR that sends shivers down your spine every time you read it because it's so well written.

I thought it’d be fun to share some of our favorite quotes from books we’re reading or have read. I’m sure back in the day this thread already existed but I’m too lazy to do a search right now 😁. As always, keep it forum-friendly please.

Just thought of a new game that could be quite fun. The rules are the same as the Guess the pic rules, except pics are swapped for quotes and you have to guess which character it was who said it, and the setting in which it was said. The person who guesses correctly can post the next quote. The...

When I add cirdan to the list of nirnaeth arnoediad commanders on the tolkiengateway site, it is removed. As a reason, they say that there are no reference sources from the books. Is there any book source or official written source that shows that the falathrim elves you know existed in the...

1. If you find yourself lost, look to the stars in the night sky, and follow the calling of the Moon. They will guide you. 2. Sometimes, peace can only come to you when you reflect on your meaningful existence. Only then may you understand the deepest attributes of your true self that will lead...

I’m writing my school essay on Sam and while doing so I’ve come across some of his best quotes. What are your favorite Sam quotes? my favorites are: -“It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to...

Does anyone know what he meant by this? “Touching your cap to the squire may be damn bad for the squire but it’s damn good for you"

“If you really want to know what middle earth is based on, it’s my wonder and delight in the earth as is, particularity the natural earth.” -J.R.R Tolkien I am 99.9% sure i read it in his letters. Does anyone know which one?

I've been thinking about doing this for a while since it would be informative, but i don't know what would happen every time i post a new one. Thread might get a bump but, would it go away for double posting?. Anyway here's the first:

Hi guys. I’m new here. My daughters boyfriend is a huge lord of the ring fan and is planning a birthday surprise for her. Her brothers and I have bet if he’s going to propose and he texted her brothers and I the other night saying “I feel like I should be weighing in on this bet....ok here’s...

Hi! I want to get a tattoo of Gandalf's quote 'All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us' in elvish font. I keep finding different versions of it, and I'm wondering which one is accurate! Here are some images I have found: if someone can tell me which one is accurate...

I find myself often quoting from the Mirror of Galadriel chapter, and I often find others quoting from it as well. What do you think is the most common reference chapter that you tend to go to in the Lord of the Rings, and why ? I haven't been on in awhile, and am curious what others think. I...

Rules: One person starts with a quote from the book or film and the first person to guess it has to use another quote. Hints maybe allowed any time from the questioner and the name of the person has to be given in order to get it correct. Have fun!

Hi! So I'm planning on getting a tattoo of the phrase, 'keep your feet', a small part of Bilbo's, 'It's a dangerous business' saying that Frodo recalls in Chapter 3 of The Fellowship of the Ring. I want the phrase in Sindarin, written in elvish lettering. I've tried to figure it out on my own...

Hey, guys I'm getting a tattoo done in about a month, and I'm a little unsure if my Sindarin writing is correct or not. I'm using this quote from a song in LotR: "Ae ú-esteli, esteliach nad. Estelio han, estelio veleth." (For those who don't know, and are curious, it translates to "If you...

I archived the old movie quote thread (you can still read it) because I find shorter threads generally encourage activity (you don't feel as if you have to read the whole thread before posting) and I think some people were afraid of using quotes that had already been tried, so in other words we...
