The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid;... - Stephen King

"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."

"If you don’t have the time to do something right, where are you going to find the time to fix it?"

"A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder."

"As with all other aspects of the narrative art, you will improve with practice, but practice will never make you perfect. Why should it? What fun would that be?"

"Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule."
