I don't want to stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love or happy endings.
Matthew Quick
Image
Stories don’t always have happy endings.
Patrick Ness
Image
There are no happy endings, just happy days, happy moments. The only real ending is death, and trust me, no one dies happy. And the price of not dying is that things change all the time, and the only thing you can count on is that there's not a thing you can do about it.
Jonathan Tropper

I always begin [a novel] with outlines, but they change and so do my endings and beginnings.
Sefi Atta

People cry at weddings for the same reason they cry at happy endings: because they so desperately want to believe in something they know is not credible.
Margaret Atwood
Image
There are only three possible endings -aren't there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That's it. All stories end like that.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Have you thought of an ending?' 'Yes , several, and all are dark and unpleasant,' said Frodo. 'Oh , that won't do!' said Bilbo. 'Books ought to have good endings. How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?' 'It will do well, if it ever comes to that,' said Frodo.
J. R. R. Tolkien

So much for endings. Beginnings are always more fun. True connoisseurs, however, are known to favor the stretch in between, since it's the hardest to do anything with. That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.
Margaret Atwood
Image
Endings are beginnings-if we allow them to be.
Laura Day
Image
Stories don't always have happy endings. This stopped him. Because they didn't, did they? That's one thing the monster had definitely taught him. Stories were wild, wild animals and went off in directions you couldn't expect.
Patrick Ness
Image
It is nice when things end. That is what stories do - they end. It is hard to write endings and it is hard to come to the end of things, but I think when it is done right, it is a very satisfying way to appreciate something.
Jon Hamm

I don't believe in happy endings. Children have got to face death sooner or later. Granny and Grandpa die, dogs die, cats die, gerbils and those frightful things - what are they called? - hamsters: all die like flies. So there's no point avoiding it.
Raymond Briggs

I don't believe in happy endings.
Jeanette Winterson

If you enjoy books with happy endings than you are better off reading some other book.
Daniel Handler
Image
Endings are elusive, middles are nowhere to be found, but worst of all is to begin, to begin, to begin.
Donald Barthelme
Image
I'm still trying to re-create a Ray Charles concert that I heard when I was fifteen years old, and all my nerve endings were fried and transformed, and electricity shot through me.
Boz Scaggs

Life isn't a fairy tale, and happy endings are few and far between
Kristen Bell
Image
That's how life is. Sometimes there are happy endings, sometimes there aren't, and more often there are shades of gray.
Emily Giffin
Image
You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy, the building of a house, the writing of a novel, the demolition of a bridge, and, eminently, the finish of a voyage.
John Galsworthy
Image
When you are in your teenage years you are consciously experiencing everything for the first time, so adolescent stories are all beginnings. There are never any endings.
Aidan Chambers
Image
If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now.
Stephenie Meyer
Image
Books ought to have good endings.How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings!
