Below are twelve quotations from The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. They were all spoken by members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Your challenge is to figure out who said each one. (These are all from the books, though some are used in the movies too.)
Put your guesses in a comment on this post. (I've put all comments on full moderation so I can hide your answers until the end of the party, so no one will be tempted to cheat.) I'll post the answers and your scores on Saturday!
1. "It was a compliment, and so, of course, not true."
2. "Yet dawn is ever the hope of men."
3. "I have never allowed anyone to stand me on my head."
4. "Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones."
5. "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
6. "If you think that I have passed through the mountains and the real of Gondor with fire and sword to bring herbs to a careless soldier who throws away his gear, you are mistaken."
7. "Ah! the green smell! It is better than much sleep. Let us run!"
8. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life."
9. "I feel like spring after winter, and sun on the leaves; and like trumpets and harps and all the songs I have ever heard!"
10. "May your beer be laid under an enchantment of surpassing excellence for seven years!"
11. "As for me, my way home lies onward and not back."
12. "Go where you must go, and hope!"
Great quotes, Rachel! #8 is part of perhaps my favorite quotation in the books because it speaks to pity, compassion, and mercy. I already cheated by looking them up. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteFundy Blue, well, at least you were honest about looking them up! Glad you enjoyed the collection, even if you decided not to play the game :-)
