I am in trouble here. This woman is not right.
Stephen King
Image
a cloud-congested caul that is alternately red, orange, vermilion, purple. Sometimes the clouds break apart in great, slow rafts, letting through beams of innocent yellow sunlight that are bitterly nostalgic for the summer that has gone by.
Stephen King

The water was glassy and calm, still candy-colored in the afterglow of sunset.
Stephen King
Image
My father had taught me - mostly by example - that if a man wanted to be in charge of his life, he had to be in charge of his problems.
Stephen King
Image
He found himself still with too many questions and not enough answers.
Stephen King
Image
If you can't laugh when things go bad--laugh and put on a little carnival--then you're either dead or wishing you were.
Stephen King
Image
I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.

Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.
