Nope!

To bring it to the new page:

I'm not sure what you mean - the depressing trudge towards Mordor starts from Rivendell, or arguably as far back as Crickhollow. So no, not before that.

They're not in Mordor yet, if that helps.

Last page of "The Forbidden Pool".

"Yet since he is gone, I must take such paths as I can find. And there is no time for long searching," said Frodo.

He was very tall, had a long beard, was gray and old. But his eyes were as enthusiastic as the stars.

If I’m not wrong, that’s a description of Círdan the Shipwright.

It’s not a quote. As in not something someone said.

So it’s not a valid entry for this game (as created by Al). Has to be something a character said.

After breakfast, I am as interested as I like and help the witch weeds as much as possible.

When is a hobbit not interested about breakfast? But yes, it is a hobbit speaking.
