Quote of the moment <3

[periantari]

 It was not in vain that the young hobbits came with us, if only for Boromir's sake. But that is not the only part they have to play. They were brought to Fangorn, and their coming was like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.

Gandalf, regarding Merry and Pippin

i'm very drawn by likening the hobbits to "small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.
" =)

It's sometimes easy to forget that even Frodo (the oldest and fifty) are young compared to the rest of the Fellowship. I forget how old Boromir was but he was probably the closest to their age.

Boromir is 10 years younger than Frodo, 2978 and Frodo was 2968 in third age reckoning. :) He is not older than Aragorn or Gandalf though nor Legolas?
