I'm re-reading The Lord of the Rings again (Yes, re-reading again, not the first re-read.) Anyways, this quote to the hobbits by an elf as the hobbits venture into a world that scares them and which they hate to avoid was striking.
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
~ Gildor Inglorion, as quoted by J. R. R. Tolkien
