“It is my fate to receive help from you, where I least looked for it.” Frodo to Gollum, in the desolation before the Gates of Mordor.
“Your fate [is] to help me whom you long pursued with evil purpose. A continuation of Frodo’s speech to Gollum.
“The desire of it may betray you to a bitter end.” Frodo warning Gollum about the treachery of the Ring.
“Which way should he choose? And if both led to terror and death, what good lay in choice?” Frodo is faced with the choice of trying the “secret” way Gollum wants to show them and the obvious peril of the Black Gate.
“If ever you met me you wouldn’t forget me.” Part of a bit of nonsense poetry Sam declaims, about Oliiphants.
“We might be wanting to go back. We might!” Sam, deciding to send Gollum hunting in hopes of stretching their rations.
