Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”

    I kill with my heart.”

    Stephen King
    “Friends.
    They aren’t any such thing as good friend or bad friend.
    Maybe there are just friend.
    People who stand by you when you're hurt and who helped you feel not so lonely.
    Maybe there are worth being scared for and hoping for and living for.
    Maybe worth dying for too.
    If that what has to be.
    No bad friends.
    Only people you want.
    Need to be with.
    People who build their houses in your heart.”
