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.

More From Sam Shepard

Beginnings are definitely the most exciting, middles are perplexing and endings are a disaster.
Disaster Exciting
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
Hate Lying Cutting
I detest my past, and anyone else's. i detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. i also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people.

Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have. if you are miserable you are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening, so confront that. look it square in the eye without flinching. when you are having a bad time, examine that experience, observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn its mechanics. the way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, learn how it is built. you do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. the trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. the result is freedom.
Taken Eye Buddhism
You're searching... for things that don't exist; i mean beginnings. ends and beginnings - there are no such things. there are only middles.

Oddly, the meanings of books are defined for me much more by their beginnings and middles than they are by their endings.
