Right... do I get a chapter listing to jog the memory? Cos this could go into several directions at the moment.

Well, as a quick guess, the line 'dark levels all' is said by Fëanor when he stirs the Noldor to their rebellion, after the theft of Silmarils.
"Ha! Wonnige Glut! Leuchtender Glanz!
Strahlend nun offen steht mir die Straße.
Im Feuer mich baden!"
- Siegfried, Act Three, Scene Two.

Oh, no, I didn't cheat (if that was intended to me). I've just read the Silm about six times or so.

Lol, I was only kidding. Well done! Now you've got to pick a quote.

Well, here goes then:

"An oath I too shall swear, and must be free to fulfill it and go into darkness."

That's actually from The History of Middle-Earth, since I own only a Finnish copy of the Silmarillion. But as far as I can say, the quote is exactly or nearly exactly the same in both.
"Ha! Wonnige Glut! Leuchtender Glanz!
Strahlend nun offen steht mir die Straße.

Hmm, I know this, I know this. I think. Is it one of the sons of Feanor?
Merlin: Thank you.
Arthur: For what? For lying to my father to save your worthless hide? If you ever put me in that situation again, Merlin, I will clap you irons myself.

David: Oh and John. My TARDIS... mine. Say sorry.
John: Sorry.
