The wearied ones shall rest;
The pilgrims find their Father's house,
Jerusalem the blest."

Quotes are great!
Here's a good one from "The Fellowship of the Ring".
I had to write a response to it in school.

O! Wanderers in the shadowed land despair not!
For though dark they stand,all woods there be must end at last, and see the open sun go past: the setting sun, the rising sun, the day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all woods must fail...
