It was a nice day.
—Last Line of Paradise Thwarted, sequel to Manchester Lost
The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured,
And the sad augurs mock their own presage;
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And peace proclaims olives of endless age.

Willy Wonka: "But Charlie, don't ever forget what happened to the man that suddenly had everything he ever wanted."

""If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
"In tragedy the life always ends. By being dead, the hero is at the same time rescued from life’s troubles. In melodrama, he lives on — in an unhappy happy end."
Evey: Does it have a happy ending?
V: As only celluloid can deliver.

"Expecting a happy ending, Hughie? I'm sorry; it ain't that kind of massage parlor."

"Lonely nights are in your heart
They're in your heart tonight
This just might...
This just might be the beginning of...
A brand new history!
(Where the ending is a happy one)
I've seen it on the movie screens!
(And in those novels that you read)
Well, it could be you and me!
'Cause, darling, what's stopping us
From loving one another?"
