Did it really come out with those odd spaces in "Do n't"?
This is almost certainly Gollumn in the Dead Marshes:
The tricksy lights. Candles of corpses, yes, yes. Don't you heed them! Don't look! Don't follow them!

It really did. And yes, that is the quote.

I like how this one turned out:
I don't want to be a queen anymore.

And again she looked at Faramir. ''No longer do I desire to be a queen," she said.
And assuming that's the quote, here's another:

I assume he means, "well, Alatar, are you going to give the answer since you obviously know what it is." Or something like that.

It's just as well that Willow as an adult has developed enough of a formidable presence to be sufficiently threatening when appropriate. For example, I don't think she could have pulled it off in her puppy days:

Aw, that's just irresistible.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Since it doesn't appear that Al is going to give the quote, I believe it is from the third postscript from Gandalf's letter to Frodo that Barliman failed to send: "A worthy man, but his memory is like a lumber-roam: thing wanted always buried."
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

This was significantly reduced from the original.

Sounds like the Unexpected Party but I'd have to check the books to figure which speaker.
