    Stephen King
    “One of the really bad things you can do to your writing is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you're maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones. This is like dressing up a household pet in evening clothes. The pet is embarrassed and the person who committed this act of premeditated cuteness should be even more embarrassed.”

    Michelle Hodkin
    “The boy is destined for greatness, but with you, he is in danger. You are linked, the two of you. You must leave him. This is what I have seen.”

    I grew frustrated. “Is he in danger because of me?”

    “He will die before his time with you by his side, unless you let him go. Fate or chance? Coincidence or destiny? I cannot say.” Her voice had turned soft.

    Soft and sad.

    A fist closed around my heart. I tried to let him go once before. It didn’t work.

    “I can’t,” was all I said to her, and quietly.

    “Then you will love him to ruins,” she said, and let my hands go.”
