I found myself speaking softly as if I were telling an old tale to a young child. And giving it a happy ending, when all know that tales never end, and the happy ending is but a moment to catch one’s breath before the next disaster. But I didn’t want to think about that. I didn’t want to wonder what would happen next. Robin Hobb
About This Quote

The concept of the happy ending is a way of giving hope and relief to people who are going through a very painful and difficult time. The hope of a happy ending is based on the belief that every story has an ending. However, we tend to remember the happy ending and forget the rest, even though the heartache was real at the time. We often fail to see how bad things really were during this time, so we give ourselves a break and get rid of everything that was difficult during this period of our lives. The happiest part of these stories is that we all get another chance to live our lives and we can do it better than before.
