One of Jim's favorite quotes is:"Gandalf: âMany that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.â
Frodo: âI wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.â
Gandalf: âSo do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, beside the will of evil. â

Samwise: âItâs like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were and sometimes you didnât 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 itâs only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come & when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, ...Expand for more
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 didnât. They kept going because they were holding on to something.â
Frodo: âWhat are we holding on to, Sam?â
Samwise: âThat thereâs some good in this world, Mr. Frodo & it is worth fighting for.â

Pippin: âI didnât think it would end this way.â
Gandalf: âEnd? No the journey doesnât end here. Death is just another path that we all must take. The gray rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it.â
Pippin: âWhat, Gandalf? See what?â
Gandalf: âWhite shores and beyond a far green country under a swift sunrise.â
Pippin: âWell, that isnât so bad.â
Gandalf: âNo. No it isnât.â

Boromir: âThe world of Men will fall. And all will come to darkness and my city to ruin.â
Aragorn: â I do not know what strength is in my blood but I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail.â
Boromir: âOur peopleâ¦â¦.. Our peopleâ¦â¦.. I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My King.â
Aragorn: âBe at peace, son of Gondor. They will look for his coming from the White Tower, but he will not return.â
