“There are no happy endings in history, only crisis points that pass.”

“Those only are happy .... who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness, "a crisis in my mental history”

“When reason has followed its road to the end, the point of crisis is reached and man is brought to the great question mark over his own existence.”

“There are no endings for any of us, happy orotherwise, until we die. A fairy tale only endshappily because that’s the point where thestoryteller stops telling the story.”

“Happy endings are bullshit. There are only happy pauses.”

“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
