Bad Endings Quotes

“We all dream of stories with happy endings. We know that, by their nature, "ending" and "happy" never make good roommates. But we force ourselves to believe it anyway. That hope, that naïveté, that is our greatest strength as humans. Stories don't end happy. The best we can do is hope that they leave a good taste in our mouth... licking our lips one last time before leaving the table wouldn't be that bad, right?”
― Zidrou, The Adoption

― Clarice Lispector, The Foreign Legion

“Я уже пережила любовь, пережила смерть.
Хуже точно быть не может.”
― Катарина Зек, Adriana zwischen den Welten
