Not all that have fallen are vanquished.

The war made me poignantly aware of the beauty of the world.

For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.

The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.

I do not know what is happening. The reason of my waking mind tells me that great evil has befallen and we stand at the end of days. But my heart says nay; and all my limbs are light, and a hope and joy are come to me that no reason can deny. [...] I do not believe that darkness will endure!

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Not everyone who wanders is lost.
