“Your future is your own again. And I consider that to be a happy ending to the story.”

“But you'll never have your happy ending unless you're brave enough to open the book and start your story.”

“If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.”

“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.”

“And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.”

“Read the stories of the past to write your story for the future.”
