Stephen King

When you get old, peace is about all you want. You folks might not believe that now, but you`ll find out.

Dreams fade. Reality doesn`t.

God [...] made men and women smart enough to land on the moon but stupid enough to have to learn there was no such thing as forever.

It doesn't matter how much you love each other, that marriage is like an overloaded packhorse and you know it can fall to its knees or even roll over dead if all the wrong things happen at all the wrong times.

Lies and love rarely went together, and never for long.

I don`t know you well enough to love you, [...] but I love you anyway.

But you can`t fool your friends [...]. Not the people who love you.

Sometimes [...] real love is silent as well as blind.

Life is a wheel, and if you wait long enough, it always comes back around to where it started.

True sorrow is as rare as true love.

When you`re a grown-up, you take it for granted that things are going to change no matter how much you try to maintain the status quo [...]. It`s only when you`re a teenager that you talk about change constantly and believe in your heart that it never really happens.

As soon as you have a kid, you know for sure that you`re going to die. When you have a kid, you see your own gravestone.

Love has teeth; they bite; the wounds never close.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.

A short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.
