Good Endings Quotes

Endings are beginnings, and beginnings are ours to turn into something good Picture Quote #1

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don’t necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Something that’s good in the mini-culture of ‘Happy Endings’ is that the goal is to try and make each other laugh. There is a pretty high bar, and you want to make the writers laugh, and you want to elevate what’s already great material - and also, we’re like, ‘Who is even watching this? Let’s just go for it.’ Picture Quote #1

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both Picture Quote #1

If my life were a song, what would it be? ‘A Never Ending Road of Musical Good Times’ Picture Quote #1

The side of fairytales I don’t like is that they always have happy endings, that there’s just good and evil, and things are perfect. But life is a little more complicated, and that’s what I try to teach my kids Picture Quote #1

We’ve seen over time that countries that have the best economic growth are those that have good governance, and good governance comes from freedom of communication. It comes from ending corruption. It comes from a populace that can go online and say, ‘This politician is corrupt, this administrator, or this public official is corrupt.’ Picture Quote #1

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. Don’t wait for an inspired ending to come to mind. Work your way to the ending and see what comes up Picture Quote #1

People relate to things that feel real to them. All the good, happy, over-sexed and moneyed endings on TV are not the way most of us feel in our lives. The success of ‘E.R.,’ I think, is not relying on overly sentimental stories that are solved where people’s lives wrap up nicely with happy endings Picture Quote #1

... sometimes good people [are] helpless... terrible things happen... to good people... there [are] sad endings as well as happy ones Picture Quote #1

Only bad books have good endings. If a book is any good, it’s ending is always bad - because you don’t want the book to end Picture Quote #1

My own way of writing is very meditated and, despite my reputation, rather slow-moving. So I do spend a good deal of time contemplating endings. The final ending is usually arrived at simply by intuition Picture Quote #1

The story was such that I couldn’t make a graceful ending and then make a graceful new beginning. I could have, but I didn’t want to. So, it isn’t the most graceful way of writing a story. This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff. I’m pleased with it anyway Picture Quote #1

What really counts are good endings, not flawed beginnings Picture Quote #1

To assume all the powers is not good for anybody. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. All those experiments have a bad ending Picture Quote #1

Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending Picture Quote #1

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible Picture Quote #1

Obviously, where art has it over life is in the matter of editing. Life can be seen to suffer from a drastic lack of editing. It stops too quick, or else it goes on too long. Worse, its pacing is erratic. Some chapters are little more than a few sentences in length, while others stretch into volumes. Life, for all its raw talent, has little sense of structure. It creates amazing textures, but it can’t be counted on for snappy beginnings or good endings either. Indeed, in many cases no ending is provided at all Picture Quote #1
