Quotes about: Sunrise

  Pippin: What? Gandalf?... See what?
  Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
  Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.
  Gandalf: No... No it isn't.

A voice shouted in the dark: 'Who's that? Be off! You can't come in. Can't you read the notice: No admittance between sundown and sunrise?' 'Of course we can't read the notice in the dark,' Sam shouted back. 'And if hobbits of the Shire are to be kept out in the wet on a night like this, I'll tear down your notice when I find it.
