That's not religion. That's some kind of juju, like a talisman.
Stephen King
It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
Stephen King
Even when love isn't enough...somehow it is.
Stephen King
I was sitting one day and thinking about cannibalism, because that's what guys like me do... and I thought, suppose a guy was washed up on a rocky island, how much of himself could he eat?
Stephen King

Stephen King
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When you find something at which you have talent, you do that thing (what ever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes pop out of your head.
Stephen King
