Gollum, of course! Reply to Sam when he wakes up and doesn't think it's time to go on. Just before they climb the stairs up to Cirith Ungol.

"'Well, you can go on looking forward...There may be many unexpected feasts ahead for you.""

Gandalf to Pippn, after Pippin's complaint about not being able to have a cooked meal (a fire being unwise after the flight of the crebain over the Fellowship.

Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Chapter III, "The Ring Goes South."

And here's another:

"Such dealings with their dead seemed grievous to the Dwarves, for it was against their use..."

Appendix A, III Of Durin's Folk, About the burning of the dead dwarves after the battle with orcs before the gate to Khazad-dum

Oh, I hate that story. It's so sad, and everyone dies. But it certainly does give a great deal of background for understanding Thorin Oakenshield and the other dwarves. And you finally understand how Gimli must have felt walking into Moria.
