J. R. R. Tolkien _ The Fellowship of the Ring
Behind that, there was something else at work, beyond any design of the ring maker. I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was to find the ring, and by its maker. In which case you also were to have it. And that may be an encouraging thought.

J. R. R. Tolkien _ Lord of the Rings
It depends on what you want," put in Merry. "You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin- to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours- closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the Ring. We are horribly afraid- but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.

J. R. R. Tolkien _ The Fellowship of the Ring
Despair, or folly?' said Gandalf. 'It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.

Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy!

J. R. R. Tolkien
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. 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'll 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
