About This Quote

The common phrase, “A man is like a novel: until the very last page you don't know how it will end,” is most likely attributed to Robert Browning, but it’s unclear who first wrote/said this. The sentiment behind the saying is that life is full of surprises. At any moment, you can be thrown off where you are heading. The idea of this saying is that if you knew how the novel will end, then you wouldn’t be reading it at all.
