I was about to see if an attempt could be made to restart the thread, when I discovered it had been moved to the Mathom House. I was just wondering why, and if there will be a new one?

Hi everyone, My husband is a huge Tolkien fan and for Christmas I would like to get him a European style license plate for his Mini Cooper. I would like the letters and numbers on the plate to refer to a specific Tolkien passage (kind of like a Bible verse) about hobbits. Since the Mini is...

Please, I know there are a few quote threads already, but if I didn't do this I would go insane. Now, anybody who has heard a great statment/quote sometime during the day, post it for all to hear. Keep the language down, themes appropriate and have fun. They can be inspirational, funny, from a...

What is your fav movie quote: Mine has to be: "What do they eat when they can't get Hobbit?" Merry from the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring in the MidgeWater Marshes

I came across the following set of quotes while browsing about a joke website. They seem a bit more elloquent than the usual set of random quotes to be forwarded a million times around the galaxy, but there was no author credited. I wondered if anyone recognized any of these. . .I really really...

Quotes from the IMDB from International viewers from different background, views and philosophy and experience... btw, the fanbois over there are more debateable than the fads here :D

OK now that most of us have ROTK in our hands I was just wondering what is your favorite quote from the movie? I know it is very hard but try to pick just one. Mine has to be when Sam tells Frodo "I cannot carry the ring for you but I can carry you!" I just love that.

I found this very great quote from Goethe, who was answering to a schoolboy's request for advice. It is amazing that Goethe was only 22 when he wrote this: Amazing :).

Rather than hijacking the Crickhollow thread (as we already seem to have done!), how 'bout a thread dedicated to misquotes from the movies. That is, instances in the movies where Jackson et al. assign dialogue to different characters or at different times from the books. I think such instances...

Does anyone have any quote they like by JRRT? I got one: "Faith, is daring the mind to go beyond what the eyes refuse to see."

;) We could start a "Quote of the Day" and use quotes about Tolkien; by Tolkien; about Peter Jacksons "The Lord of the Rings" films; about New Zealand; about the writing process--or whatever seems appropriate to The Tolkien Forum and the Writers Guild. I'll start, borrowing from The Writer's...

Direct Quotes--SPOILERS I like it how PJ ended the movie with a direct quote from Tolkien. That line is on of my favorites, when Sam says "Well I am back". I also love it when Frodo says "I am glad to be here with you Sam at the end of all things". I know PJ added some other direct quotes in...

There is so much treasure in the Letters of JRR Tolkien, that I thought it would be a good idea to have a place where people can give their favourite quotes, and those who haven't read the letters can obtain a sample to whet their appetites.:cool: My first is the full version of my current...

There are lines and passages in books that effect our heart and sometime bring us to grieve and tears. There are words that move our heart and for a moment bring us on the threshold of tears. Many such moving phrases and passages are there in Tolkien’s writing, moreso perhaps because some of his...

Of course, since LOTR has one, the Hobbit needs one! This kinda stuff is fun, and no denying, and The Hobbit has some of the best quotes i can remember... Same rules as if uve played in the LOTR section: "Don't pretend that Goblins can't count!"

Fave Quotes Well i wasn't sure if this exsisted anywhere (and i didn't bother to look:D ). So post your fave quotes from anything! Books, Movies, Commercials, anything! Mine is: "I know your out there, I can feel you now, I know that you're afraid, you're afraid of us, you're afraid of...

I have a question about a quote made by Sam. It is the part when Aragorn takes Frodo. Then Sam, Merry, and Pippin go into the room and Sam has his fists in the air. The he says something like "Unhand him longshanks?" What is longshanks?

OK, when in FOTR did Sauron say "There is no hope in he void"? You see the little boy I babysit got a Sauron action figure that talks. One of the quotes is this one and on the box is said original movie quotes. I don't remember him saying this. So if anyone does please tell me what part it...

Feel free to post your favorite quote from the LOTR movie, so that I can get an idea of what type of person you are. I'll go first. My favorite quote is: > In a dream, > I saw the eastern sky grow dark, > but in the West, a pale light lingered. > A voice was crying: > "Your doom is...

A while ago you asked for people to quote their favourite quote from Tolkien's work. I remember having giving lots of quotes (and other people too), and I was just wondering if anything is going to be done with them. I believe the idea was to show random quotes on the site, but I haven't seen...
