TOLKIEN: Death and life

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life.”
***
"Many of you have got death as the reward of your trust in her."
***
"There are locked doors and closed windows in your mind, and dark rooms behind them."
***
"This is a bitter end to our hope and to all our toil!"
***
"The grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."

J.R.R. TOLKIEN, The Lord of the Rings
