Matt’s Quotes

“Put a higher value on yourself. Being hyper-realistic about everything is too simple a get-out.”

“Religions emerged too early in human evolution — they set up symbols that people took literally, and they're as dead as a line of totem poles. Religions should have come later, when the human race begins to near its end. Sadly, crime is the only spur that rouses us. We're fascinated by that "other world" where everything is possible.”

“The first thing I am is a husband; the second thing I am is a father, the third thing that I am is, I'm a man of my place and time and my community. And I have to be all those things first because if I want to write, everything trickles down.”
― Stephen King
