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. 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.

Traducao (Portugues)

Eu sei. Está tudo errado. Por direito, nem deveríamos estar aqui. Mas estamos. É como nas grandes histórias, Sr. Frodo. As que realmente importavam. Cheias de escuridão e perigo elas eram. E às vezes você não queria saber o final. Porque como o final poderia ser feliz? Como o mundo poderia voltar ao que era quando tanta coisa ruim aconteceu? Mas no final, é apenas algo passageiro, essa sombra. Até a escuridão deve passar. Um novo dia virá. E quando o sol brilhar, brilhará ainda mais claro. Essas eram as histórias que ficavam com você. As pessoas nessas histórias tinham muitas chances de voltar atrás, mas não voltaram. Elas continuaram. Porque estavam se agarrando a algo. A que estamos nos agarrando, Sam? Que existe algo bom neste mundo, Sr. Frodo. E vale a pena lutar por isso.
