“I've been thinking every day since coming here. How did things turn out this way? Ruined minds and bodies. People with no freedom left to them. People who have even lost themselves. What kind of person would want to go to war if they knew they were going to end up like this?
But... there was something pushing us all along. Causing us to step right into hell. For most of us that something isn't of our own will. We're forced to by others, or by our environment.
But the kind of hell seen by people who push themselves into it is something else. They also see something beyond that hell. Maybe it's hope. Maybe it's yet another hell.
I don't know which it is. The only people who do know... are the ones who keep moving forward.”

“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, and 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.”
