    Stephen  King
    “The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
    ― Stephen King

    Stephen  King
    “So drive away quick, drive away while the last of the light slips away, drive away from Derry, from memory...but not from desire. That stays, the bright cameo of all we were and all we believed as children, all that shone in our eyes even when we were lost and the wind blew in the night.

    Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward all the life there is with all the courage you can and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand.

    All the rest is darkness.”
    ― Stephen King, It

    “I know I love her.
    < ERROR >
    I know I miss her.

    I know very little else

    That every story needs its monster
    and that everybody deserves a second chance.
    And that I am
    AIDAN.”

    Jay Kristoff
    “Fear was Can't.
    Fear was Won't.
    But fear wasn't ever a choice.
    To never fear was to never hope. Never love. never live. To never fear the dark was to never smile as the dawn kissed your face. To never fear solitude was to never know the joy of a beauty in your arms.
    Part of having is the fear of losing.
    Part of creating is the fear of it breaking.
    Part of beginning is the fear of your ending.
    Fear is never a choice.
    Never a choice.
    But letting it rule you is.”
    ― Jay Kristoff, Darkdawn

    Melania G. Mazzucco
    “Forse col tempo diventeremo due estranei. Ma l’affresco sarà lì, lo vedranno tutti, e ci passeranno davanti migliaia, centinaia di migliaia di pellegrini, e leggeranno nelle guide "San Pietro libera la spiritata" di Giovan Francesco Romanelli, e cercheranno di ricordarsi dove hanno letto l’episodio – negli "Atti degli Apostoli"? Non è un vero miracolo, non è nemmeno una guarigione, è un’epifania del mistero della presenza, del bene che esercitiamo gli uni sugli altri, al di là delle parole e del contatto dei corpi, e tu mi hai fatto del bene, e io ho fatto del bene a te, e conosco solo un modo per dirlo, e nessuno saprà mai che questa immagine parla di noi, e quando tu e io non ci saremo più, essa ci sarà ancora, e allora anche noi saremo sempre giovani e innocenti, e la mia ombra ti toccherà, e farà fuggire i tuoi demoni e tu sarai libera.”
    ― Melania G. Mazzucco, L'architettrice
