Just in case anyone happens to be having a bad day, I'm posting one of my favorite Cheer-Up quotes from Lord of the Rings. This is a guaranteed cure for any general feelings of bummedness.
" Gandalf stood before him, robed in white, his beard now gleaming like pure snow in the twinkling of the leafy sunlight. 'Well, Master Samwise, how do you feel?' he said.
But Sam lay back, and stared with open mouth, and for a moment, between bewilderment and great joy he could not answer. At last he gasped: 'Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?'
'A great Shadow has departed,' said Gandalf, and then he laughed, and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as he listened the thought came to Sam that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count. It fell upon his ears like the echo of all the joys he had ever known. But he himself burst into tears."
-The Return of the King, p. 246 by J.R.R. Tolkien. All of the other pages were also by J.R.R. Tolkien, a genius in the making.
Hope you enjoyed, and have a nice day [:
