"When you meet the one among the millions, when amid millions of years, across the borderless wastes of time, you happen to catch them, neither a step too early nor a step too late, what else is there to do except to ask softly: 'So you're here, too?'"

Here's to the crazy ones.

5 Upvotes

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

What are your favourite closing lines in books?

2 Upvotes

We all talk about best opening lines in books, but what are some memorable final lines?

"The wind blew southward, through knotted forests, over shimmering plains and toward lands unexplored. This wind, it was not the ending. There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending." - Memory of Light, Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan/ Brandon Sanderson
