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 will you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr Frodo, I do understand. I know now.

And it's worth fighting for." - Samwise Gamgee, The Two Towers
