Death is when the monsters get you.

...stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when if feels like all you're managing is to shovel sh*t from a sitting position.
Stephen King

...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.

One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal.

Love isn't soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.

Outside, a gusty October breeze was combing leaves from the trees and sending them across her backyard in colorful skitters.

Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.

A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.

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

...belief has a second edge. If there are ten thousand medieval peasants who create vampires by believing them real, there may be one - probably a child - who will imagine the stake necessary to kill it. But a stake is only stupid wood the mind is the mallet which drives it home.

Pride, that invisible bone that keeps the neck stiff.

The death of the music business was insane, but audio recordings have been around now for maybe 120 years. Books have been around for, what, nine centuries? So they're more entrenched than music.

Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
