“A happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story”
William Shakespeare
(1564–1616) English playwright and poet
“The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
The Last Unicorn (1968)
Context: The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. … Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
“It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.”
