“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:
We live in a world that has many dangers and places where bad things happen. However, there are also many beautiful and good things around us. Think about a rose garden. Some of the roses have thorns that can hurt you, but their beauty and fragrance still make the garden worth visiting. This is like how in life, even though love often comes with sadness, the love we have becomes even stronger and more precious because of the hard times. For example, when people help each other after a disaster, the pain of the disaster makes their kindness and support even more valuable. So, even though life has its problems and sadness, the love and beauty we find can become even more powerful and meaningful.
