“The starlight rained down on them as it has on young men and women since time’s first hour, and once she looked up and saw a meteor flash overhead - a brief and brilliant orange streak across the vault of heaven. Susan thought to wish on it, and then, with something like panic, realized she had no idea what to wish for. None at all.” — Stephen King. “The Dark Tower IV: Wizard And Glass”.

“And in real life endings aren’t always neat, whether they’re happy endings, or whether they’re sad endings.” — (via that-oreo) -

“The girl, although young, was married. The boy, although fair, was unstable. She met him one night in a remote place to tell him their affair, as sweet as it had been, must end. He replied that it would never end, it was written in the stars. She told him that might be, but at some point the constellations had changed. Perhaps he began to weep. Perhaps she laughed - out of nervousness, very likely. Whatever the cause, such laughter was dangerously timed. He picked up a stone and dashed out her brains with it. Then, coming to his senses and realizing what he had done, he sat down with his back against a granite slab, drew her poor battered head into his lap and cut his own throat as an owl looked on from a nearby tree. He died covering her face with kisses. When they were found, their lips were sealed together with his life’s blood and with hers.” — Stephen King. “The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass”.

A fake but awesome Buddha quote. A good example of using lies to tell the truth.

There is no ‘symbolism’ or conscious allegory in my story. Allegory of the sort ‘five wizards = five senses’ is wholly foreign to my way of thinking. There were five wizards and that is just a unique part of history. To ask if the Orcs ‘are’ Communists is to me as sensible as asking if Communists are Orcs. That there is no allegory does not, of course, say there is no applicability. There always is. And since I have not made the struggle wholly unequivocal: sloth and stupidity among hobbits, pride and [illegible] among Elves, grudge and greed in Dwarf-hearts, and folly and wickedness among the ‘Kings of Men’, and treachery and power-lust even among the ‘Wizards’, there is I suppose applicability in my story to present times. But I should say, if asked, the tale is not really about Power and Dominion: that only sets the wheels going; it is about Death and the desire for deathlessness. Which is hardly more than to say it is a tale written by a Man!
