“Frederica also thought, for she had been there many times, that if this was a beginning, it was the beginning of an ending, that was the way it went.”
“It has always been the way of tales and dreams. Time forgets itself. That is also the way of remembering. But when remembering or retelling, it is best to start at the beginning. And for all memories,all tales, and all dreams, there is but one beginning…”
“All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.”
“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.”
“In every end, there is also a beginning.”
“That which begins will also end.”
