The world does not have tidy endings. the world does not have neat connections. it is not filled with epiphanies that work perfectly at the moment that you need them.

More From Dennis Lehane

My family doesn't do happy endings. we do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. we are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.

And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.

I hate endings. just detest them. beginnings are definitely the most exciting, middles are perplexing and endings are a disaster. … the temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. why not be more honest with the moment? the most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning. that’s genius.

If ever there were a true "just as i am" church, if ever there were a community where everybody could bring all their baggage and brokenness with them without neat and tidy happy endings quite yet, if ever there was a group where everyone was loved and no one pretended - we could not make enough room inside the building.

You can choose, you can go one of two ways. you can be the person i probably admire more and say 'well i don't care and i'll continue not to bother to brush my hair.' or you can be a weak-willed person like me and think 'oh i'd better get my act together. and maybe my mother was right and i do need to put my hair back and tidy myself up a bit.' so i did tidy myself up a bit. but i do often resent the amount of time that it takes to pull yourself together to go on tv, i really do. if i sound bitter, then that accurately reflects how i feel about the subject.

Let the grass die. i let almost all of my indoor plants die from neglect while i was writing the book. there are all kinds of ways to live. you can take your choice. you can keep a tidy house, and when st. peter asks you what you did with your life, you can say, i kept a tidy house, i made my own cheese balls.

There can be no be no better instruction... than that every man who is to deal with his neighbor to follow these commandments. 'whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them,' and 'love thy neighbor as thyself.' if these were always followed, then everything would instruct and arrange itself; then no law books nor courts nor judicial actions would be required. all things would quietly and simply be set to rights, for everyone's heart and conscience would guide them.

I remember thinking that people were crazy for reading the same book more than once, but i now have a new-found appreciation for the re-discovery of literature. the lessons we learned from books in the school curriculum are reinvented and updated when we read as adults.

Books are for those without real lives, he thought. and they are no real replacement.

I discovered fantasy and science fiction when i was about 10, and read nothing else for about three years. i ran out of all the books that there were to read in the library. i was keen on reading stuff that took me to other places.
