John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, "The Lord Of The Rings" (Gandalf)

I will not say "do not weep", for not all tears are an evil. 

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, "The Lord Of The Rings" (Frodo)

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand: there is no going back. There are some things that time can not mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

You can only come to the morning through the shadows.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, "The Lord Of The Rings"

Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... then you see it!
Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise.
Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.
Gandalf: No. No, it isn't.
