These are hard to come up with... much harder than the opposite quotes.
At any rate, that is correct. |

And a good try it seems, Guinevere. How about a hint?

It's in TTT. And the sentence ends with: "... 'tis said."

"But why not kill them quick, kill them now? They're a cursed nuisance and we're in a hurry. Evening is coming on and we ought to get a move on."
An orc says so in "The Uruk Hai"

Ok thanks.

"If you must go, then let me ride in your following. For I am weary of skulking in the hills, and wish to face peril and battle."
Eowyn said that to Aragorn in "The Passing of the Grey Company".

10 days rule...
"Because you are not lowly in your bearing, White Rider - and such a quality that you have is not without proper cause, for you posess both a keen intelect and a clear and farsighted visage." If that is not wholly correct in terms of grammar, my apologies. Still, the meaning, I think, is clear.

I don't know why nobody tried to solve Rimbaud's quote (post #96) ?
I think it must be from the Akallabêth, the messengers of Manwë speaking to the Númenoreans: " But this we hold to be true, that your home is not here, neither in the land of Aman nor anywhere within the Circles of the World."

Well, I guess it's my turn at this (though Guinevere solved the harder quote, I think...)

"If I hear not allowed much oftener," said Sam, "I'm going to get angry."
That would be a quote from Sam, RotK, "The Scouring of the Shire"

That's the Elves of Rivendell talking to Bilbo when they woke him up in the middle of the night with their singing. I don't have TH with me though, so I can't find the exact quote.
