I'll start this one with a hint: I'm doing a long-overdue re-read of the Silmarillion, and I'm up to chapter 10 (Of the Sindar). So this quote is from somewhere in the first ten chapters:

Yes! It sounds like you have the quote...

I could find it, but I'm flying out to New York on Saturday so probably best if someone else takes this one!

Back to the Third Age.
You have found yourself from the deep sea again. Even if you escape from death, you rarely lose clothes.

Sorry guys, I know the quote, but again I don't want to do the next one cause I'll be gone for a week.
