another book

I just finished a book, yes it was Stephen King "Duma Key", and here are my favorite quotes from that book.

"To paraphrase Nietzche: if you keep your focus, eventually your focus will keep you. Sometimes without parole."

"Two fat pelicans drew a line across the morning."

"Cry fuck it and crawl in the bucket."

"Do the day and let the day do you."

"When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck, and I believe that's true. Tell too much and you find yourself...mmm...I don't know...telling the past you wished for?"

"God punishes us for what we can't imagine."

"'Anything I can ever do for you,' |Wireman| said. 'Ever. In my life. You call, I come. You ask, I do. It's a blank check. Are we clear on that?'
'Yes,' I said. I was clear on something else, as well: when someone offers you a blank check, you must never, ever cash it. That wasn't a thing I thought out. Sometimes understanding bypasses the brain and proceeds directly from the heart."

"Speak, memory, that I may not forget the taste of roses nor the sound of ashes in the wind; that I may once more taste the green cup of the sea."

"Pain is the biggest power of love."

"We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living."

"There was a pain, but less that I had prepared for...and in the end, that's usually the way, don't you think?"

"In the end we wear out our worries."



That is it - I liked them - you don't have too.
