There are no happy endings... There are no endings, happy or otherwise. We all have our own stories which are just part of the one Story that binds both this world and Faerie. Sometimes we step into each others stories - perhaps just for a few minutes, perhaps for years - and then we step out of them again. But all the while, the Story just goes on.

Charles de Lint

When we're young, we like happy endings. When we're a little older, we think happy endings are unrealistic and so we prefer bad but credible endings. When we're older still, we realize happy endings aren't so bad after all.

Margaret Atwood

There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part, So just give me a happy middle And a very happy start.

Shel Silverstein

My family doesn't do happy endings. We do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. We are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.

Hope Solo

People generally like happy endings, which is something I learned from my years in advertising. I like happy endings myself, but only if they're honest. I'm just as happy with a terrible, hopeless ending.

Augusten Burroughs

I find it ironic that happy endings now are called fairytale endings because there's nothing happy about most fairytale endings.

Joe Wright

People relate to things that feel real to them. All the good, happy, over-sexed and moneyed endings on TV are not the way most of us feel in our lives. The success of 'E.R.,' I think, is not relying on overly sentimental stories that are solved where people's lives wrap up nicely with happy endings.

Anthony Edwards

Some stories don't have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.

Kristin Hannah

Stories don’t always have happy endings.

Patrick Ness

My parents believe in the happy endings to the stories of their children.

Glen Duncan

I had just finished working on a play, and we started to talk to the 'Happy Endings' folks. There was interest from both sides, which was exciting, because I thought it was very fresh. Adam Pally's just a really funny, talented dude. I thought I'd be great to jump on and do some comedy.

James Wolk

And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.

Stephen King

"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

Not only are there no happy endings,' she told him, 'there aren't even any endings.

Neil Gaiman

Unhappy endings are just as important as happy endings. They’re an efficient way of transmitting vital Darwinian information. Your brain needs them to make maps of the world, maps that let you know what sorts of people and situations to avoid.
