what is your favorite quote in The Hobbit?...Here is mine..

"I will give you a name... I shall call call you sting"

I have no idea why..but it just stuck out the first time I read it
another on is:

"Thief! Thief! Thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it for ever!

i crack up every time I read it..I have no idea why

Im so sorry if there is another thread like this but checked and didnt see one!

what has its got in its pocketses, precious

hee hee
haa haa

[Rosie Gamgee]

"Thang you very buch." :D Hee hee.
No seriously . . . em . . . Ooo, I do so like a lot. Probably Gandalf's 'good-morning' speech at the beginning, or when he says to the dwarves that he never brings things that are of no use. I forget the exact quotes, but I like those two lines.

[Lanelf]

I don't remember the exact quotes, but Bilbo's little songs or whatever he yells at the spiders. And the riddle-y sort of talk with Smaug.
Lanelf.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

"At 'may never return' he began to feel a shriek coming up inside, and very soon it burst out like the whistle of an engine coming out of a tunnel.....Then he fell flat on the floor, and kept calling out 'stuck by lightning, struck by lightning! over and over again.....Excitable little fellow," said Gandalf. "Gets funny queer fits, but he is one of the best- as fierce as a dragon in a pinch."
and also
"Bilbo baggins", a bur- a hobbit," said poor Bilbo.
""A burrahobbit?" said they a bit startled. Trolls are slow in the uptake.

[Bombadillo]

Mine is probably the most recognisable thing said in The Hobbit.

"What have I got in my pocket?"

I like this one so much that it's what comes to mind every time my hand goes into my pocket. It's effective, whatever it's effect was supposed to be.

"Not fair! Not fair!" he hissed. It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?"
.........that last question had not been a genuine riddle according to the ancient laws."

(BILBO CHEATED!!!)

[Tolman Muggworts]

My favorite quote would have to be from the three trolls. "Who's arguing but you, I'd like to know. "You're a Booby," said William. "Booby yerself!" said Tom.

[The Dunedain]

Personaly these are my favorite Hobbt qoutes

"It Smells like Elves"
"Oh look, Bilbo Baggins on a pony!My dear, isn't it delicious!"
"Bless us and splash us my precious!

Ah, yes the memorys

[Anadriewen]

"Great Elephants!" said Gandalf :D

[jammi567]

'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.' :)

[durinsbane2244]

Struck by lightening! Struck by lightening!

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

"Lovely titles!" sneered the dragon. "But lucky numbers don't always come off."

I love this part. It shows how smug Smaug is.

[durinsbane2244]

smuggy smug smaug is smuggy smug smuggertin...

[The Telcontarion]

Alas, this quote is hard for me to write, but here is anyway:

"No!" Said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly west. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!"

[ringbearer]

"Mutton today, mutton yesterday and blimey if it don't look like mutton again tomorrer!"
Or something like that...love that word tomorrer

[Old_Tom_Bombadil]

The same as Telcontarion, only I'd shorten it a bit:

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

[The Telcontarion]

The same as Telcontarion, only I'd shorten it a bit:
Quote:

Amen brother.

Don't be precise.... And don't worry! - Dwalin

That's one of my favourites. I say it whenever someone is late.

The Hobbit is a gold mine of quotes - so much more applicable than many of the ones in LotR.:)
