“I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to.”

I love that quote

“Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next Time, and rid us of your stupidity!”

This one is good too

“Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words.”
