Happy ending

«You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.»
Author: Joan Baez (Singer, Song Writer) | Keywords: Happy ending
«To tell you the truth, in my work, love is always in opposition to the elements. It creates dilemmas. It brings in suffering. We can't live with it, and we can't live without it. You'll rarely find a happy ending in my work.»
«To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.»
«What the American public wants in the theater is a tragedy with a happy ending.»
«The time-honoured bread-sauce of the happy ending.»
«The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.»
«The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.»
