Stephen King
Do you believe in an afterlife? the gunslinger asked him as Brown dropped three ears of hot corn onto his plate. Brown nodded. I think this is it.

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King
A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.
Stephen King
When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
