“If you want a happy ending, it just depends on where you close the book!”

“Fairy Tales always have a happy ending.' That depends… on whether you are Rumpelstiltskin or the Queen.”

“Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to…”

“In order to write the book you want to write, in the end you have to become the person you need to become to write that book.”

““Will you write the story?”
“If there is one.”
“Happy ending or no?” He was serious.
She attempted a smile. “Fairy tales always have a happy ending.”
He leaned back in his chair. “That depends.”
“On what?”
“On whether you are Rumplestiltskin or the Queen.””

“What are you reading?" Owen asks.
"Charlotte's Web," Liz says. "It's really sad. One of the main characters just died."
"You ought to read the book from end to beginning," Owen jokes. "That way, no one dies, and it's always a happy ending.”

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”

“Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted.”

“Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.”

“It makes no difference where you go, there you are. And it makes no difference what you have, there’s always more to want. Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.”
