“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.

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.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“There's a quote from 'The Breakfast Club' that goes "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it."

― Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
