“leaving.
So you leave, and there is an urge to look back, to look back just once as the sunset fades,
to see that severe New England skyline one final time — the spires, the Standpipe, Paul with
his axe slung over his shoulder. But maybe it's not such a good idea to look back. All the
stories say so — look what happened to Lot's wife. Best not to look back. Best to believe there
will be happily ever afters all the way around — and so there may be; who is to say there will
not be such endings? Not all boats which sail away into darkness never find the sun again, or
the hand of another child; if life teaches anything at all, it teaches that there are so many
happy endings that the man who believes there is no God needs his rationality called into
serious question.”
― Stephen King, It

“The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. It's hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life”
― Stephen King, The Body

“Maybe that's why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.”
― Stephen King

“if you kill a cockroach you are a hero, if you kill a butterfly, you are evil. morals have aesthetic criteria.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
