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:
You get out of my gate and you are Mandos Prison!

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.
