Say also, that to crooked eyes, truth may wear a wry face.

"A king will have his way in his own hall, be it folly or wisdom."

Oft evil will shall evil mar.

The mightiest man may be slain by one arrow.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Strange are the ways of Men - Gimli in TTT (and women everywhere )

***RÃan*** · 09-18-2002, 01:13 AM

Gee, these are great! Why can't I think of any? But I'm enjoying everyone else's!

Probably the most moving quote in the entire epic is this one:

Quote:

"If that Frito weren't the seed of a crossbow wedding, then I don't know lunch from din-din!"

Quoth Clotty Peristalt

***RÃan*** · 09-21-2002, 05:41 PM

3:02 a.m.?? could you not sleep because you were contemplating the stunning beauty and profundity of this quote, or did you eat too much pizza?

BTW, where in the world is it from?

I believe that that lovely quote comes from Bored of the Rings by the Harvord Lampoon, if I remember my Fritos and Frodos correctly.

Is it possible to have three books in the #1 position of my Christmas wish list? War of the Jewels was there, at your recommendation, SGH, 'cause you know I like the Sil, then Peoples of Middle Earth joined it 'cause I want to read the Shibboleth, now Bored of the Rings! I need to buy stock in Borders bookstore... oh - better idea - just ask innocently for someone to order "History of M.E." for me for Christmas, not telling them it's 12 (is that right?) books ... hopefully they won't notice, and it will be too late when they get the bill ...

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 09-21-2002, 05:57 PM

12 is the majic number.

Eomer: do we walk in legends on the green earth in the light of day?
Aragorn: A man may do both, for not we but those who come after us will make the legends of our time. The green earth, you say! That is a matter mighty in legend, though you tread it under the light of day.

Diamond of Long Cleeve · 09-23-2002, 08:49 PM

Twice blessed is help unlooked for. Eomer to Aragorn
