Untrue


“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.”  

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Probably one of the best quotes I've read...a perfect picture of the Gospel..."Everything sad is coming untrue."
