Stephen King

If there is any one thing I love about writing more than the rest, it's that sudden flash of insight when you see how everything connects.

God loves and forgives, we must do the same.

There are only about five really good stories, and writers just tell them over and over, with different characters.

That`s your job in this hard world, to keep your love alive.

Love doesn't come out of a faucet you can turn on and off whenever you want to.

Keep my love safe; take my love safe to where he goes, give him joy in who he sees, and make him a cause of joy in those who see him.

True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring - once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome.

We remember our first real love no more clearly than the illusions that caused us to rave during a high fever.

When love comes before puberty, it can come in waves so clear and so powerful that no one can stand against its simple imperative.

Is this what love - infatuation, at least - does to you? Does it sharpen your senses at the same time it`s making you crazy?

The lovers don`t always live happily ever after, even when they`ve done what seemed right as well as they could do it.

The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.

Show me a man or woman alone and I`ll show you a saint. Give me two and they`ll fall in love. Give me three and they`ll invent the charming thing we call 'society'.

Life is a tiger you have to grab by the tail, and if you don`t know the nature of the beast it will eat you up.

Life is like a narrow beam over an endless chasm, a beam we have to walk blindfolded.
