-Stephen King, The Gunslinger
6. "If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you."

-Stephen King
8. "’We are going to fight. We are going to be hurt. And in the end we will stand.’"
-Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three

-Stephen King, Storm of the Century
12. "Show me a man or a 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'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home."
-Stephen King, The Stand
13. "If being a kid is about learning how to live, then being a grown-up is about learning how to die"

14. "Maybe there aren't any such things as good or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for, too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart."
-Stephen King, It
15. "Even if the torture stops, I'll die. And you'll die too, for when love leaves the world, all hearts are still. Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask"
-Stephen King, The Dark Tower
-Stephen King, Desperation
