I can't believe no one guessed it yet...
Could it be, that I mistook a movie quote for a book quote?! No, I refuse to believe that's possible!

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 05-22-2010, 04:58 AM

Both, I believe. "That would depend on the manner of your return" was something Denethor said to Faramir in both -- wow, something that made the transition and stayed in the same people's mouths!

I feel a bit out of line, popping in when I've only been lurking up till now...

Yavanna to Manwë:

Quote:

"Would that the trees might speak on behalf of all things that have roots and punish those that wrong them!"

Btw, the former quote (Denethor to Faramir) is a bit shorter in the book: "That depends on the manner of your return."

This is not said by any particular character but the narrator himself,
