embrace all living creatures and the whole "The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight seeing'." Daniel J. Boorstin Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had ever happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given you."
