Who said That?

[Icarus]

I'm guessing she forgot which game she won

[Sylvania]

Oh, um, la-di-da, whoops and lots of

You know I started to type the quote out and then thought: "You idiot - the Ringers are supposed to guess this."
Must admit I laughed my head off when I realised what I'd done.
Actually, I should have just pretended it was an April Fool's joke, but I was too slow to even think of that!!! So then, let's try again:

The birds and beasts do not tell tales of that sort.

[Harthad]

Treebeard?

[Sylvania]

'Fraid not Harthad - although I can see why you thought it might be Treebeard.

[Harthad]

Legolas? Aragorn? Galadriel? Gandalf? Okay, now I'm just guessing.

[bregotamer]

I'm gonna go with Tom Bombadil?

[yaralindi]

I believe it was Peregrin Took to Strider in Fellowship of the Ring.

[Sylvania]

You believe correctly yaralindi - it was indeed Peregrin to Strider during the flight to the ford.

[Harthad]

Okay, Yaralindi is obviously better learned than me so I shall do a book hunt really quickly this time!

[daughter_of_kings]

Hey, Yaralindi... your turn.

[Sylvania]

What D.O.K. said!!!

[Pi]

Although it does not fall under the TH, LOTR, or Silmarillion quote parameters as set forth by the thread starter (me), I wanted to post this just because I like it, and I hope you do, too.

I am in too great doubt to rule. To prepare or to let be? To prepare for war, which is yet only guessed: train craftsmen and tillers in the midst of peace for bloodspilling and battle: put iron in the hands of greedy captains who will love only conquest, and count the slain as their glory? Will they say to Eru: At least your enemies were amongst them? Or to fold hands, while friends die unjustly: let men live in blind peace, until the ravisher is at the gate? What then will they do: match naked hands against iron and die in vain, or flee leaving the cries of women behind them? Will they say to Eru: At least I spilled no blood?
'When either way may lead to evil, of what worth is choice? Let the Valar rule under Eru!

[Primula]

Hullo, what's this? It appears to be a sleepy word game thread! Let's start it back up again.

Who said:

"Spying on the private business of my people, I guess! Thieves, I shouldn't be surprised to learn!"

[faramirgirl]

Was it Theoden?

[daughter_of_kings]

The Great Goblin, maybe?
