I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.

I get inspiration, a lot of times, from very commonplace things that just strike a chord and develop themselves in the subconscious.
Stephen King

How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King

There were people who lied for gain, people who lied from pain, people who lied simply because the concept of telling the truth was utterly alien to them . . . and then there were people who lied because they were waiting for it to be time to tell the truth.
Stephen King

Such an ego simply forbade certain lines of thought.
