“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
“You know how easily and suddenly these things happen, beginning in playful teasing and ending in something a little warmer than friendship. You squeeze the slender arm which is passed through yours, you venture to take the little gloved hand, you say good night at absurd length in the shadow of the door. It is innocent and very interesting, love trying his wings in a first little flutter.”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
“Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another--too often ending in the loss of both.”
Tryon Edwards
“Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
Peter S. Beagle
“Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance.”
Edgar Allan Poe
“Love is life's end, but never ending. Love is life's wealth, never spent, but ever spending. Love's life's reward, rewarded in rewarding.”
Herbert Spencer
“From inaccessible mountain range by way of desert untrod by human foot to the ends of the unknown seas, the breath of the everlasting creative spirit is felt, rejoicing over every speck of dust that hearkens to it and lives”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
Gilda Radner
“Our history sings of centuries Such varying songs it sings! It starts with winds, slow moving sails, It ends with skies and wings”
Catherine Cate Coblentz
