End
Quotes - You were saved not by work, but for work
“Centuries
of fighting, and for what? I say. "Today it ends. I can't live in fear any
longer. I've cursed this power. I've both enjoyed and misused it. And I've
hidden it away. Now I must try to wield it correctly, to marry it to a purpose
and hope that is enough.”

Libba Bray, The Sweet Far Thing

“You
get towards the end of life—no, not life itself, but of something else: the end
of any likelihood of change in that life. You are allowed a long moment of
pause, time enough to ask the question: what else have I done wrong?”

Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
“In
her way, she was a hard one. Faith in any sort of natural justice was nothing
but a night light; she knew of that. Whatever she did, she would end the same way
with everyone does: flat on her back with a tube in her nose, wondering,
"Is this all?”

Thomas Harris, Red Dragon
“The

“Maggie
squeezes my hand. It’s a silent message that everything will be okay. Somehow I

Katherine Alice Applegate, The Beginning
“I
may not have any power over it at the moment, but at some point that must
change. I can be very patient. I am the end of all things, nephew mine. I shall
be the last. When birth has ended, I wil cut Clotho's cord, and she will be no
more. The time will come when every last thread has been measured, and I will
snip Lachesis from the great weave. In the end only Death and I will remain.
Then I will cut his thread, and it will be me alone. With my last strength I
will close the shears on my own life. I am the end of everything, including
you.”

“The
two of us in that room. No past, no future. All intense deep that-time-only. A
feeling that everything must end, the music, ourselves, the moon, everything.
That if you get to the heart of things you find sadness for ever and ever,
everywhere; but a beautiful silver sadness, like a Christ face.”
―
John Fowles, The Collector
“You
were saved not by work, but for work. Do it till all is done. By your

Information, Interventions and Inspirations... Go the extra mile and dare to do
it.”

“And
when the world shall listen
And

“That’s
when you rise, finally. You rise out of the mud, in the rain, and you go back
inside and suddenly everything gets really cold and calm. The answer doesn’t
lie in your backyard because no one is going to come and save you even if you
beg them to. Especially if you beg them to. You’re on your own, like you’ve
always been on your own. You have to keep going forward, until you can’t go
forward anymore.
You
have to hang on. You’re almost there. You can make it to the end.”
―

“Mary
believes she was put on earth to bring an end to the living world.”
Both
Nick and Mikey just stared at her.
“What
do you mean … end?” asked Mikey.
“End
means end. Complete and total destruction. She wants to kill everyone and
everything. She wants to bring down every building, burn every forest, empty
every ocean of life. She wants to turn the earth into a dead planet …”
