— 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 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 on to something. — What are we holding on to, Sam? — That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.Show full quote Copy quote Share Report a mistake 3 comments The Lord Of The Rings: The Two TowersFrodo BagginsSamwise Gamgee (Sam)GoodnessStruggle

Hello. Are you ready for the story? This is a story of Sir Boast-a-lot. Sir Boast-a-lot was the bravest and cleverest knight at the round table. But soon the other knights began to grow tired of his stories about how brave he was and how many dragons he'd slain. And soon they began to wonder, "Are Sir Boast-a-lo's stories even true?" Only he could have found the evidence. Oh, no. So, all the knights went to King Arthur and said, "I don't believe Sir Boast-a-lot's stories. He's just a big old liar who makes things up to make himself look good." And then, even the King began to wonder. But that wasn't the end of Sir Boast-a-lot's problem. No. That wasn't the final problem. The end.Show full quote Copy quote Share Report a mistake 1 comment Sherlock Season 2 Episode 3 James MoriartyVillainsDoubtBoasting, Bragging
