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 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.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
 
I just had to post this because I thought it was hilarious and mostly true.

"The reason we have sex scandals, is we're suppose to be attracted to strong confident women. But we're not, we're actually attracted to broken neurotic women. Because we know they will be dirty in bed. If you go out on a date with someone, and they go, "I had a great relationship with my father." Inside your going damn. "My stepfather on the other hand," back in the game."
-Frankie Boyle
