Paul Edgecomb: What do you want me to do John? I'll do it. You want me to let you walk out of here and see how far you get? John Coffey: Now why would you want to do a foolish thing like that? Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?
Stephen King
This was the Darker Life, where every truth was written backward.
Stephen King
The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted.

Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
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
There is zero, and there is eternity, and there is mortality, but there is no ultimate.
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.
Stephen King
When it comes to the past, everyone writes fiction.
Stephen King
the only mortal sin is giving up.
