I've thought for a good while now that the Hobbit quote should be expanded.

It currently says:
"If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." ~ Thorin Oakenshield
But the full quote is much more poignant:
"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!"
Of course, the downside of the expanded quote is that it spoils more, but seriously, this is the Hobbit, it's been published for over seventy years.

Quote of the Moment: I've gone through the suggested quotes and added rather a lot of them.

What if we just left if off after "world"?

OK. I will amend the quote to the one Legolas (appropriately) gave.

As usual, Camilla has made a spelling error. I suggest the traditional punishment.

I could get a knife through Customs just fine as long as it's in my checked luggage.

Also: you made me choke on my tea. I am pretty sure that's a criminal offence. *NM*

As much as the letter H may hate it, it forms a part of Sarah Palin's name. *NM*

I've never actually bothered to check up on the spelling of her name, oddly...

The problem I have with that is that the "black goop" extends too far to the right, obscuring posts.

Interesting. There is a quote that I don't recognize, from a source I don't recognize...
