���The desire of it may betray you to a bitter end.��� Frodo warning Gollum about the treachery of the Ring.
���Which way should he choose? And if both led to terror and death, what good lay in choice?��� Frodo is faced with the choice of trying the ���secret��� way Gollum wants to show them and the obvious peril of the Black Gate.
���If ever you met me you wouldn���t forget me.��� Part of a bit of nonsense poetry Sam declaims, about Oliiphants.
