“Life's like a novel with the end ripped out”
“It was like my life hung on the chapters of a novel - and each scene ended in a cliffhanger.”
“...my novels are like life - I never know where they're going until I get to the end...”
“I always rip out the last page of a book, then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings.”
“Life," Garp wrote, "is sadly not structured like a good old-fashioned novel. Instead an end occurs when those who are meant to peter out have petered out. All that is left is memory. But even a nihilist has memory.”
“I'm a hopeful romantic who adores novels with happy endings, because there are enough sad endings in real life.”
