“Home is behind, the world ahead,
and there are many paths to tread
through shadows to the edge of night,
until the stars are all alight.”

“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
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
turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: 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.”

“Pippin glanced in some wonder at the face now close beside his own, for
the sound of that laugh had been gay and merry. Yet in the wizard's
face he saw at first only lines of care and sorrow; though as he looked
more intently he perceived that under all there was a great joy: a
fountain of mirth enough to set a kingdom laughing, were it to gush
forth.”
