H Is For Happily Ever After

As the happily ever after usually comes at the end, be warned--there may be a spoiler or two.

My favorite happily ever after ever comes from Howl's Moving Castle:

Howl said, “I think we ought to live happily ever after," and she thought he meant it. Sophie knew that living happily ever after with Howl would be a good deal more hair-raising than any storybook made it sound, though she was determined to try. "It should be hair-raising," added Howl. 

 "And you'll exploit me," Sophie said. 

"And then you'll cut up all my suits to teach me.” 

From Fangirl:

“Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy,” Wren said. “It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for.” 

From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:

“Mr. Wonka: "Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted."Charlie Bucket: "What happened?"Mr. Wonka: "He lived happily ever after.

From The Fellowship of the Ring:

“Have you thought of an ending?""Yes, several, and all are dark and unpleasant.""Oh, that won't do! Books ought to have good endings. How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?"
'It will do well, if it ever comes to that,' said Frodo.'Ah!' said Sam. 'And where will they live? That's what I often wonder.” 

From If There Be Dragons:

“But in real life, happily-ever-after is just the beginning. It's where life starts.”
