Apr. 22nd, 2025 10:57 pm 'See here, Captain! ' He planted himself squarely in front of Faramir his hands on his hips, and a look on his face as if he was addressing a young hobbit who had offered him what he called `sauce' when questioned about visits to the orchard. There was some murmuring, but also some grins on the faces of the men looking on: the sight of their Captain sitting on the ground and eye to eye with a young hobbit, legs well apart, bristling with wrath, was one beyond their experience. `See here! ' he said. `What are you driving at? Let's come to the point before all the Orcs of Mordor come down on us! If you think my master murdered this Boromir and then ran away, you've got no sense; but say it, and have done! And then let us know what you mean to do about it. But it's a pity that folk as talk about fighting the Enemy can't let others do their bit in their own way without interfering. He'd be mighty pleased, if he could see you now. Think he'd got a new friend, he would.'
Sam, The Window on the West, TTT
If he doesn't find the way, no one will!!!
Apr. 5th, 2025 10:56 pmTolkien quote of the day:
'If I understand aright all that I have heard,' he said, 'I think that this task is appointed for you, Frodo; and that if you do not find a way, no one will. This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and counsels of the Great. Who of all the Wise could have foreseen it? Or, if they are wise, why should they expect to know it, until the hour has struck? 'But it is a heavy burden. So heavy that none could lay it on another. I do not lay it on you. But if you take it freely, I will say that your choice is right; and though all the mighty elf-friends of old, Hador, and Húrin, and Túrin, and Beren himself were assembled together your seat should be among them.
Elrond's response to Frodo when he said he would take the ring.
Quote of the moment <3
Mar. 29th, 2024 11:27 pm 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
SoA is mindreader
Mar. 22nd, 2024 11:12 pm ‘Er well,’ said Pippin, ‘if I may venture to say so, rather a burning question in my mind at present is, well, what about breakfast and all that? I mean, what are the meal-times, if you understand me, and where is the dining-room, if there is one? And the inns? I looked, but never a one could I see as we rode up, though I had been borne up by the hope of a draught of ale as soon as we came to the homes of wise and courtly men.’
Pippin to Beregond, Minas Tirith, RotK
<3 <3 This is today's random one: <3 <3 <3 <3 (i love fics that explore this time when they decided to bring Pippin and Merry along...so much was changed with them going!!!) =) Trust to friendship than to great wisdom!!!
Tolkien quote of the day:
It is true that if these hobbits understood the danger, they would not dare to go. But they would still wish to go, or wish that they dared, and be shamed and unhappy. I think, Elrond, that in this matter it would be well to trust rather to their friendship than to great wisdom.
Gandalf, The Ring Goes South, FotR
TTT reread
Oct. 21st, 2023 09:53 pm" If ever beyond hope you return to the lands of the living and we retell our tales, sitting by a wall in the sun, laughing at old grief, you shall tell me then. Until that time, or some other time beyond the vision of the Seeing-stones of Numenor, farewell!"
--Faramir
How much fanfic can do post Quest justice with more Gondorian convos between Frodo and Faramir? =)
...
And there is a fic called "Charmed life" but i feel a bunny percolating with this quote. "his life is charmed"-- hmm... is it really? in what ways? We must explore this.

"The road my pass, but they shall not! Not while Faramir is Captain. he leads now in all perilous ventures. But his life is charmed, or fate spares him for some other end." -Mablung
SoA teases me nonstop
Oct. 15th, 2023 11:02 pmTolkien quote of the day:
Can it not? i need to sleep now (and not cry).Suddenly Faramir stirred, and he opened his eyes, and he looked on Aragorn who bent over him; and a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes, and he spoke softly. ‘My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?’
The Houses of Healing, RotK
Good night.
Random book squee
Oct. 9th, 2023 09:39 pm ‘Then, Éowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful. In the valleys of our hills there are flowers fair and bright, and maidens fairer still; but neither flower nor lady have I seen till now in Gondor so lovely, and so sorrowful. It may be that only a few days are left ere darkness falls upon our world, and when it comes I hope to face it steadily; but it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still. For you and I have both passed under the wings of the Shadow, and the same hand drew us back.’
Faramir to Éowyn , RotK
It was the random quote on SoA. thanks for making me teary....:P
