“She could not remember ever being truly happy in her adult life; her years with her mother had been built up devotedly around small guilts and small reproaches, constant weariness, and unending despair. Without ever wanting to become reserved and shy, she had spent so long alone, with no one to love, that it was difficult for her to talk, even casually, to another person without self-consciousness and an awkward inability to find words.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
