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.

SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER BOOKS 4 AND 6 HP and the Half-Blood Prince: 'It was the difference between being dragged into an arena for a battle to the death and walking in with your head held high. Some would say there was little difference between the two, but he knew, and Dumbledore and Sirius knew, and, Harry thought with a fierce rush of pride, my parents knew, that there was all the difference in the world.' HP and the Goblet of Fire: "He thought one thing, and it was beyond reason or fear. He was not going to die crouching here like a child playing hide-and-seek, and he was not going to die kneeling at Voldemort's feet...he was going to die upright like his father, trying to defend himself even if no defense was possible..." Also, a lot of the 'Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality' fanfiction fits the bill. It's got some problems, but it's still a great read.

[@efoxkitsune9493]

That entire scene though... I think it's one of the best speaches in anything, ever. *Frodo:* _I can't do this, Sam._ *Sam:* _I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are._ _It’s like in 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 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. Because they were holding on to something._ *Frodo:* _What are we holding on to, Sam?_ *Sam:* _That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for._

And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air.

Thank you for this! Sometimes you just need to hear positive and uplifting messages. This is from a series of unfortunate events (not sure if it was actually in the books I haven’t read them in a while) but it’s one of my favourite quotes so I’ve put it below “At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough.”

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.” -J. R. R.

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens" - Gimli (LOTR) "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast." - Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice) "The queen that bore thee/Oft'ner upon her knees than on her feet,/Died every day she lived. - Macduff (Macbeth) "I say! I have had bad luck." "Daughter," said the Hermit, "I have now lived a hundred and nine winters in this world and have never yet met any such thing as Luck. There is something about this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall." - C.S Lewis (Narnia, The Horse and His Boy) "War prisoners apart, the average citizen of Oceania never sets eyes on a citizen of either Eurasia or Eastasia, and he is forbidden the knowledge of foreign languages. If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies. The sealed world in which he lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred and self-righteousness on which his morale depends might evaporate." "The masses never revolt on their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparision, they never even become aware that they are oppressed." - George Orwell (1984) These are the ones I could find in English on my phone. ❤️

Even with tears in your eyes, always say "I got this", God gave you this life he knows YOU are strong enough to live it. "Hope is something you give yourself, that is the meaning of inner strength" - Uncle Iroh Fate whispersto the warrior "You cannot withstand the storm" And the warrior whispers back, " I am the storm." "Maybe the reason you don't see it is that it's stuck to your back. What I mean is, a person's admiral qualities - they're just like, say, a pickled plum on a rice ball. In other words the person's the rice ball and the plum's stuck to their back. So, all over the world you can have rice balls made with all sorts of wonderful ingredients, all different flavors and shapes and colors, but since they'd be stuck in the middle of everyone's back, someone could have a plum and not even know it. They'd look at themselves and think "I'm so plain, nothing but white rice," even though it isn't true because, turn them around and, sure enough, there it is. There's the plum. So if someone is jealous of somebody else, well, then, it's probably because it's easier to see the plum on someone else's back than it is on your own." - Fruits Basket Have a nice day everyone, and keep smiling 😁☺
