“The end of a novel, like the end of children’s dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plum”
“lately it has become more and more difficult to attend dinner parties without the evening ending in gunfire or tapioca...”
“Fear never shows up and the party ends early.”
“Life's like a novel with the end ripped out”
“You end up taking your sugar with your salt and your kicks with your kisses.”
“I hope it did not end happily? I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much.”
