Stephen King
there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.
Stephen King
The last good time always comes, and when you see the darkness creeping toward you, you hold on to what was bright and good. You hold on for dear life.
Stephen King
I'm most afraid of losing my mind. You lose your identity, your sense of who you are, where you are.
Stephen King
It's a poorboy sanditch,' Roland said. 'With lots of mayo, whatever that is. I'd want a sauce that didn't look quite so much like come, myself, but may it do ya fine.
Stephen King
I know I can do it, Todd Downey said, helping himself to another ear of corn from the steaming bowl. I'm sure that in time her death will be a mystery, even to me.
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutter ball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love.
