The Endless
The Endless are a family of seven anthropomorphic personifications of universal concepts, around whom much of the series revolves. From eldest to youngest, they are:
- Destiny
- Death
- Dream (formerly Morpheus, succeeded by Daniel)
- Destruction ("The Prodigal")
- Desire
- Despair
- Delirium (formerly Delight)
All débuted in the Sandman series, except Destiny, who was created by Marv Wolfman and Berni Wrightson in Weird Mystery Tales #1 (1972). A more traditional version of Death had appeared in various previous stories, however.

Famous quotes containing the word endless:
“who chained themselves to subways for the endless ride from Battery
to holy Bronx on benzedrine until the noise of wheels and children
brought them down shuddering mouth-wracked and battered bleak of brain and drained of brilliance in the drear light of Zoo,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“All futurity
Seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled;
Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
