Gandalf: "End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path . . . one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all changes to silver glass . . . And then you see it . . . White shores . . . and beyond - a far green country under a swift sunrise."
Pippin: "Well, that isn't so bad."
Gandalf: "No... No it isn't."
– The Return of the King
"What we don't know about death is far, far greater than what we do know."
– K. Janeway
'Choimhead mi ri m' chul
Gun neimh gun truas
Larach mo chasan mu sgaoil
'S iad a triall tron an uir
Gu toiseach s gu deireadh uair
'S gu na laithean soilleir buan
Thairis air a ghleann'
[Translation from Scottish Gaelic]
'I looked behind me
Without rancour, without pity
To where my footprints were scattered
On their journey through the dust
From the beginning to an end of time
And to the bright everlasting days
Beyond the valley'
From 'Thairis Air a' Ghleann' by Runrig
'Men seem to have a memory of some other life, some other world, from which they have become alienated and estranged, but to which they seek a return.'
– Ralph C. Wood
"That way lies our hope, where sits our greatest fear. Doom hangs still on a thread. Yet hope there is still, if we can but stand unconquered for a little while."
– Gandalf to Theoden, The Two Towers.
