― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“Hear all ye Elves!â€� she cried to those about her. ‘Let none say again that Dwarves are grasping and ungracious! Yet surely, Gimli son of Glóin, you desire something that I could give? Name it, I bid you! You shall not be the only guest without a gift.â€�
‘There is nothing, Lady Galadriel,â€� said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. ‘Nothing, unless it might be â€� unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. I do not ask for such a gift. But you commanded me to name my desire.”

“For the rest, they shall represent the other Free Peoples of the World: Elves, Dwarves, and Men, Legolas shall be for the Elves; and Gimli son of Gloin for the Dwarves.

"I have looked the last on that which was fairest," he said to Legolas his companion. "Henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift." He put his hand to his breast.

“It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues,â€� she said; ‘yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so bold and yet so courteous. And how shall I refuse, since I commanded him to speak? But tell me, what would you do with such a gift?â€�

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
