“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that
really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you
didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the
world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end,
it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will
come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the
stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small
to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in
those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept
going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in
this world, and it's worth fighting for.” – Sam Gamgee from The Two Towers by J.R.R.
