The Hobbit

Thorin and Company

Bilbo Baggins

"As soon as I clapped eyes on the little fellow bobbing and puffing on the mat, I had my doubts. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar!”

Thorin

"When the heart of a dwarf, even the most respectable, is wakened by gold and by jewels, he grows suddenly bold, and he may become fierce."

Dwalin

"Our beards will grow till they hang down the cliff to the valley before anything happens here."

Balin

“Well, it is the first time that even a mouse has crept along carefully and quietly under my very nose and not been spotted, and I take off my hood to you.”

Fili

“To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours on end—but not an apple!”

Kili

"May your memory never fade!"

Dori

“I can’t be always carrying burglars on my back ... down tunnels and up trees! What do you think I am? A porter?”

Ori

"When I want your help I will ask for it. Sit down, and let’s get on with this tale."

Nori

“You’ve left the burglar behind again!” 

Gloin

"One shriek like that in a moment of excitement would be enough to wake the dragon and all his relatives, and kill the lot of us."

Oin

(Dwarves have never taken to matches even yet.)

Bifur

“My cousins! Bombur and Bofur - we have forgotten them, they are down in the valley!”

Bofur

“Get up lazybones, or there will be no breakfast left for you.”

Bombur

“Go on, if you must, I’m just going to lie here and sleep and dream of food, if I can’t get it any other way. I hope I never wake up again.”

Gandalf the Grey

Wizards after all are wizards.


Radagast the Brown

"Not a bad fellow as wizards go."


Misty Mountain Goblins

The Great Goblin

“Who are these miserable persons?”
“Up to no good, I’ll warrant!"
"Spying on the private business of my people, I guess!"
" Thieves, I shouldn’t be surprised to learn!"
"Murderers and friends of Elves, not unlikely!"
"Slash them!""
"Beat them!"
"Bite them!"
"Gnash them!"
"Take them away to dark holes full of snakes..."
"...and never let them see the light again!"
