Quote by Max Frisch

It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.

It's precisely the disappointing stories, which have no prop

Summary

This quote suggests that stories without a clear resolution or meaning can often be more relatable and representative of real life. It implies that life itself is full of disappointments and uncertainties, and narratives that reflect this can feel more authentic. The absence of a proper ending leaves room for interpretation, allowing readers to draw connections to their own experiences and find their own meaning within the story.

When I think about the kind of guy I want to marry, I think I might prefer someone who knows where they are going. I mean a prince pretty much has his whole life planned out already, doesn't he? And this is important because I have no idea where I'm going or what I want to do with my life.

Good writers must have and stand by their own ideas.
