Here's my old one:
"There are no happy endings. Because nothing ends."
-The Last Unicorn
Not in the least Tolkien, yet still reminds me of him somehow. The idea that its all one big story - like Sam said, on the stairs of Cirith Ungol, about how (serious paraphrasing here) "we're in the story still! don't the tales never end?" "no, the tales themselves don't end, but the people in them come, and go when their part's ended."
I always liked that part...
