Closure is just as delusive-it is the false hope that we can deaden our living grief.
Stephen Grosz
Image
Closure isn't closure until someone's ready to close the door.
Jonathan Maberry
Image
Closure. I loathe that word.
Gayle Forman
Image
Closure is a preposterous concept worthy of the worst aspects of American daytime TV.
James Ellroy
Image
Closure is a greasy little word which, moreover, describes a nonexistent condition. The truth, Venus, is that nobody gets over anything.
Martin Amis
Image
There are no chords in modernist architecture, only lines - lines that may come to an end, but that achieve no closure
Roger Scruton
Image
Fans want to make sure that they see things resolved, they want to get some closure, a great ending. I think they're going to get that.
Casey Hudson
Image
I wanted to look at the differences between how we fought then and how we fight now, because the current lack of closure generates a state of psychological unease that is interesting to acknowledge and examine.
Chris Cleave

The closure of the book is an illusion largely created by its materiality, its cover. Once the book is considered on the plane of its significance, it threatens infinity.
Susan Stewart

A dance feels finished to me when I suddenly see this moment in the movement that feels like closure and makes me want to cry. And then I'll realize, Oh, that's the end. This whole thing is working because it all led up to this moment. It pulls all this together and it sends the correct message in a very poetic way.

Print encourages a sense of closure, a sense that what is found in a text has been finalized, has reached a state of completion.
Walter J. Ong
Image
Sometimes I feel people can move past what they've grown up around and their surroundings while in a place and some people need closure after they've left and then coming back. I've seen it happen with people I knew growing up that hated each other, and then years later you go home and you see them walking down the street and they have babies.
Dianna Agron

Books have this function that help me to understand the work I've done, to wrap it up. Once it's done, fortunately, it doesn't mean there's closure. Change in my work happens not in revolutions - it's more evolutionary.
Wolfgang Tillmans
Image
If a movie isn't released, it's one thing, but if you know it will be, it's nice to have closure and see it come out.
Gus Van Sant
Image
While vast sums of money are being siphoned off into hidden [military] coffers, Americas schools, hospitals and public services are facing cutbacks and closures.
Henry Waxman
Image
Sometimes a thing needed opening before closure was found.
Hugh Howey

I'm not interested in leaving it open-ended. That would just cause me frustration. I wouldn't be satisfied. What's really cool about Fringe, and one of the things we did do right, was that the way we chose to tell the story was that, with every season, there was a closure and then a new chapter. That allowed us to actually make the closure.
J.H. Wyman

I think this year we'll open up 900 gross, we're closing some, so the net count is lower, but the 900 are spread all over the place. Some of the closures are relocations, where you're moving it to another place in the marketplace.
Jim Cantalupo

Well, hey, let's just make everything into a closure, and then we'll have our general garbage collector, installed by 'use less memory'.
Larry Wall

I still read romance, and I read suspense. I read them both. And part of it is, I like stories with strong characters, and I like stories where there's closure at the end. And I like stories where there's hope. That's a kind of empowerment. I think romance novels are very empowering, and I think suspense novels are, too.
Lisa Gardner
Image
I don't see novels ending with any real sense of closure.
Michael Ondaatje
Image
There's a fearful term that's in fashion at the moment - closure. People apparently believe it is desirable and attainable.
Penelope Lively
Image
There was our father, the heart we knew held all of us. Held us heavily and desperately, the doors of his heart opening and closing with the rapidity of stops on an instrument, the quiet felt closures, the ghostly fingering, practice and practice and then, incredibly, sound and melody and warmth.
Alice Sebold
Image
[T]he commitment of time, money and man power necessary for a capital case is enormous and it takes from other cases. But I think what bothers me most is that it offers to the families of the victims and the survivors a false sense of closure.
