It is not the strength of the body, but the strength of the spirit.
J.R.R. Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien
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.
