«... to make sense of our lives from where we are, as it were, stranded in the middle, we need fictions of beginnings and fictions of ends, fictions which unite beginnings and end and endow the interval between them with meaning. I called these 'concord fictions', taking them to be like the plots of novels, which often end with an appearance of concord or, in modern fiction a denial of it.»
in Frank Kermode's Epilogue to The Sense of an Ending
