For the world has grown full of peril. And in all lands, love is now mingled with grief. But even now there is hope left.
I will not give you counsel, saying do this or do that. for not in doing or contriving, nor in choosing between this course and another, can I avail; but only in knowing what was and is, and in part what shall be.
But this I will say to you: your Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains.
―Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring
