Another good one from the Hobbit...

Re: One of my favorites
I've always rather liked the whole "good morning" bit Gandalf goes through at the start of The Hobbit.

Re: Favorite quotes
Hi All,
I'm a newbie but here is one of my fave quotes (so many good ones it's hard to pick!) I thought it was particularly profound since it applies to life in any realm. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the wise cannot see all ends." ~Gandalf, "The Fellowship of the Ring |

Myralis, I used that quote in an essay argueing against captial punishment. Too bad my teacher was completely oblivious to where it came from until she read the bibliography (sp?). Tolkien is so great to pull stuff out of to quote for all kinds of papers.

Re: Favorite quotes
Hmmm....I like the "good morning" scene for its humor, and I've always loved the beginning of the Silmarillion, where it's describing how Eru leads the Valar in the music. I also like the part in Fellowship after Bilbo dissapears, and it says "One hundred and fourty four flabbergasted hobbits..." and I can't remember the rest of the quote. I just lilke "flabbergasted hobbits."
