“It's like 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 has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass.

They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.”
