Jim's Quote of the Day:
"It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But
we are. 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."
"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s
worth
fighting for." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of The Rings
