The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

by Stephen King

God’s grace is a pretty cool concept. It stays intact every time it’s not you.

I hate the assumption that you can’t write about something because you haven’t experienced it, and not just because it assumes a limit on the human imagination, which is basically limitless. It also suggests that some leaps of identification are impossible. I refuse to accept that, because it leads to the conclusion that real change is beyond us, and so is empathy.

That’s what a good dog is, you know. A little bit of grace.”
