Stephen King
Image
Give a man or woman back his self-respect, and in most cases-not all, but most-you also give back that person's ability to think with at least some clarity.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
Stephen King
Image
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain.

Above all else, be consistent.

The unconscious mind writes poetry if it's left alone.
Stephen King

The town kept its secrets, and the Marsten House brooded over it like a ruined king.

sometimes an accident can be an unhappy womans best friend
Stephen King

Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.
Stephen King
Image
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do.
Stephen King

We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
Image
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.

There is zero, and there is eternity, and there is mortality, but there is no ultimate.
