1. "It had that comfortably sprung, lived-in look that library books with a lively circulation always get; bent page corners, a dab of mustard on page 331, a whiff of some reader's spilled after-dinner whiskey on page 468.

L'estraneo recede quasi del tutto e quando questo avviene cominci a sentire te stesso con chiarezza. E la comunicazione chiara tra i sé - il sé superficiale e il sé recondito, intendo - è nemica dell'autocritica. Sbaraglia la confusione." ~ Stephen King

50. "I don't call people for help. It's not because of the way I was raised, at least I don't think so; it's the way I was made. Johanna once said that if I was drowning at Dark Score Lake, where we have a summer home, I would die silently fifty feet out from the public beach rather than yell for help. It's not a question of love or affection. I can give those and I can take them. I feel pain like anyone else. I need to touch and be touched. But if someone asks me, 'Are you all right?' I can't answer no. I can't say help me." ~ Stephen King
