“It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.”
― Stephen King, Joyland

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“Good advice was sometimes easier to give than receive.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.”
― Stephen King, The Body
