Stephen King
In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman says.

Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.
Stephen King
If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Stephen King
