John Irving Quote
And Father said, There are no happy endings. Right! cried Iowa Bob – an odd mixture of exuberance and stoicism in his cracked voice. Death is horrible, final, and frequently premature, Coach Bob declared. So what? my father said. Right! cried Iowa Bob. That’s the point: So what? Thus the family maxim was that an unhappy ending did not undermine a rich and energetic life. This was based on the belief that there were no happy endings.
