In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-31-2002, 07:14 AM

I enjoy reading everyone’s signature quotes, but there is one problem – when the signature is changed, it changes on all past posts as well. Now I realize it’s time to change mine (it is somewhat long!), but I’ve grown rather attached to it. (Besides, I promised Kuruharan a bit of immortality for his balrog wing amendment on my quote!) So I would like to collect signature quotes here; before you throw your old quote into the Timeless Void, please turn it into a message and place it here to ensure that it will be remembered as long as the Barrow-Downs lives - pardon me, remains dead!

Here’s mine: RIP!

“Mercy!“, cried Gandalf. “If the giving of information is to be the cure of your inquisitiveness, I shall spend all the rest of my days in answering you. What more do you want to know?” “The names of all the stars, and of all living things, and the whole history of Middle-earth and Over-heaven and of the Sundering Seas,” laughed Pippin. “Of course! What less? But I am not in a hurry tonight.”

“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things:
Of shoes – and ships – and sealing-wax – of cabbages – and kings –
And why the sea is boiling hot – and whether balrogs have wings.” Lewis Carroll (amended by Kuruharan)
