I can see why those words have such resonance for you. How inspiring.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590153368194137758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-6034896626360921862007-07-04T16:01:00.000-04:002007-07-04T16:01:00.000-04:00Thanks for that amazing quote! I had forgotten it...Thanks for that amazing quote! I had forgotten it. Now here is one of my favourite conversations - though I don't remember if it's from the book or the movie (probably the movie):<BR/><BR/>Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.<BR/><BR/>Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. 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 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 onto something.<BR/><BR/>Frodo: What are we holding onto Sam?<BR/><BR/>Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.Franceenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801713893443097493noreply@blogger.com
