    C. JoyBell C.
    “We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    John   Waters
    “The only insult I've ever received in my adult life was when someone asked me, "Do you have a hobby?" A HOBBY?! DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING DABBLER?!”
    John Waters, Role Models

    George Carlin
    “If your kid needs a role model and you ain't it, you're both fucked.”

    Frank Herbert
    “There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
    Frank Herbert

  • #7
    Stephen  King
    “And will I tell you that these three lived happily ever after? I will not, for no one ever does. But there was happiness. And they did live.”
    Stephen King , The Dark Tower

  • #8
    Patrick Ness
    “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, A Monster Calls

  • #9
    Margaret Atwood
    “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

  • #10
    Peter S. Beagle
    “Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
    Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

  • #11
    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “Have you thought of an ending?"
    "Yes, several, and all are dark and unpleasant."
    "Oh, that won't do! 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 came to that."
    "Ah! And where will they live? That's what I often wonder.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    James Goss
    “How are you, Rory?' [the Doctor] asked.
    I [Rory]... answered him. 'It's been odd being you.'
    'Isn't it?' The Doctor's smile didn't quite reach his eyes.
    'How do you cope?'
    'Ah...' The Doctor picked away at a scrap of loose paint on the door. 'Well, I just get as close as I can to a happy ending, then I shut the door behind me and move on.'
    I nodded.
    We shut the door behind us and moved on.”
    James Goss, Doctor Who: Dead of Winter

    Steven Moffat
    “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.”
    Steven Moffat

  • #14
    Steven Moffat
    “Demons run when a good man goes to war
    Night will fall and drown the sun
    When a good man goes to war

    Friendship dies and true love lies
    Night will fall and the dark will rise
    When a good man goes to war

    Demons run, but count the cost
    The battle's won, but the child is lost”
    Steven Moffat

    Steven Moffat
    “When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever for one moment, accepts it. Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. (In the library, the Doctor walks back to the TARDIS. He stops, looking at the doors. Then he raises his hand, and stands there poised like that for a long moment. Finally he snaps his fingers. The doors open. He smiles slowly and walks in, joining Donna. Then he snaps his fingers again, and the doors close. River's voice continues over this.) Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair, and the Doctor comes to call... everybody lives.”
    Steven Moffat

    Steven Moffat
    “There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick.”
    Steven Moffat

    Steven Moffat
    “The universe is big, its vast and complicated, and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. And that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me.”
    Steven Moffat

  • #18
    Cindy Bonner
    “And I don't believe in such a thing as "happily ever after". There's only happily every now and then. I find the hardest trick is to recognize the now-and-thens, and to bask in them when they come. Happiness is a choice we make, like how to wear our hair, or having coffee with breakfast and tea at night.”
    Cindy Bonner, The Passion of Dellie O'Barr

  • #19
    E.M. Forster
    “A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.”
    E.M. Forster, Maurice

  • #20
    Edward Abbey
    “I am hopeful, though not full of hope, and the only reason I don't believe in happy endings is because I don't believe in endings.”
    Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast

  • #21
    Lemony Snicket
    “The end of THE END is the best place to begin THE END, because if you read THE END from the beginning of the beginning of THE END to the end of the end of THE END, you will arrive at the end.”
    Lemony Snicket, The End

  • #22
    C. JoyBell C.
    “Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don't really end, anyway, they just begin again in a new way. Ends are not bad and many ends aren't really an ending; some things are never-ending.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    Meg Rosoff
    “I am almost a hundred years old; waiting for the end, and thinking about the beginning.

    There are things I need to tell you, but would you listen if I told you how quickly time passes?

    I know you are unable to imagine this.

    Nevertheless, I can tell you that you will awake someday to find that your life has rushed by at a speed at once impossible and cruel. The most intense moments will seem to have occurred only yesterday and nothing will have erased the pain and pleasure, the impossible intensity of love and its dog-leaping happiness, the bleak blackness of passions unrequited, or unexpressed, or unresolved.”
    Meg Rosoff, What I Was

  • #24
    J.R. Ward
    “Falling into ruin was a bit like falling in love: Both descents stripped you bare and left you as you were at your core. And both endings are equally painful.”
    J.R. Ward, Lover Unbound

  • #25
    L. Frank Baum
    “Everything has to come to an end, sometime.”
    L. Frank Baum, The Marvelous Land of Oz

  • #26
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    “The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”
    Nietzche

  • #27
    Susane Colasanti
    “I mean, maybe under the surface, somewhere that's hard to see, I've known it had to end for a long time. I just never thought I'd be the one to end it.”
    Susane Colasanti, Waiting for You

  • #28
    Douglas Adams
    “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
    Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

  • #29
    Arthur C. Clarke
    “I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here.”
    Arthur C. Clarke

  • #30
    Ray Bradbury
    “We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.”
    Ray Bradbury
