Das Ende meiner ersten Liebe lässt sich mit dem Tod eines alten Freundes und der Trauer einer alten Freundin nicht vergleichen, aber es folgte dem gleichen Muster. Ganz genau sogar. Und wenn es mir so vorkam wie das Ende der Welt, angefangen mit den Selbstmordgedanken - so albern und halbherzig sie auch gewesen sein mochten - und dann einer grundlegenden Veränderung meines Weltbildes, so muss man sich vor Augen halten, dass ich keinen Maßstab hatte, an dem ich meine Gefühle hätte messen können. Das nennt man 'jung sein

What I know now is that gallant young men rarely get pussy. Put it on a sampler and hang it in your kitchen.
Stephen KingIrgendwann ist der Spaß vorbei, und wenn man die Finsternis auf sich zukriechen sieht, hält man sich an allem fest, was hell und glücklich und gut war, als würde das Leben davon abhängen.

Pops gave him a cool stare that settled Tom down - a thing not always easy to do. "Son, do you know what history is?"
"Uh...stuff that happened in the past?"
"Nope," he said, trying on his canvas change-belt. "History is the collective and ancestral shit of the human race, a great big and ever growing pile of crap. Right now, we're standin at the top of it, but pretty soon we'll be buried under the doodoo of generations yet to come. That's why your folks' clothes look so funny in old photographs, to name but a single example. And, as someone who's destined to buried beneath the shit of your children and grandchildren, I think you should be just a leetle more forgiving.
Bad or good, movies nearly always have a strange diminishing effect on works of fantasy (of course there are exceptions; The Wizard of Oz is an example which springs immediately to mind). In discussions, people are willing to cast various parts endlessly. I've always thought Robert Duvall would make a splendid Randall Flagg, but I've heard people suggest such people as Clint Eastwood, Bruce Dern and Christopher Walken. They all sound good, just as Bruce Springsteen would seem to make an interesting Larry Underwood, if ever he chose to try acting (and, based on his videos, I think he would do very well ... although my personal choice would be Marshall Crenshaw). But in the end, I think it's best for Stu, Larry, Glen, Frannie, Ralph, Tom Cullen, Lloyd, and that dark fellow to belong to the reader, who will visualize them through the lens of the imagination in a vivid and constantly changing way no camera can duplicate. Movies, after all, are only an illusion of motion comprised of thousands of still photographs. The imagination, however, moves with its own tidal flow. Films, even the best of them, freeze fiction - anyone who has ever seen One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and then reads Ken Kesey's novel will find it hard or impossible not to see Jack Nicholson's face on Randle Patrick McMurphy. That is not necessarily bad ... but it is limiting. The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid; a good tale belongs to each reader in its own particular way.

Те бяха негови приятели, а майка му грешеше - не бяха лоши приятели. 'Може би,' помисли той, 'изобщо не съществуват добри и лоши приятели… може би просто има приятели, хора, които се застъпват за теб, когато страдаш и ти помагат да не си толкова самотен. Може би заради тях винаги си струва да се боиш, да се надяваш, да живееш. И дори да умреш, ако трябва. Няма добри приятели. Няма лоши приятели. Има само хора, с които желаеш да бъдеш, не можеш да не бъдеш; хора, които изграждат дома си в сърцето ти.

Stephen KingBut it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.
Stephen KingThe last good time always comes, and when you see the darkness creeping toward you, you hold on to what was bright and good. You hold on for dear life.
Stephen KingI discovered something that night that most people never have to learn: murder is sin, murder is damnation (surely of one’s own mind and spirit, even if the atheists are right and there is no afterlife), but murder is also work.
