Stephen  King
“That's how, on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate-factory roof in 1950 ending up sitting in a row at ten o'clock on a spring morning, drinking Black Label beer supplied by the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank Prison. That beer was piss-warm, but it was still the best I ever had in my life. We sat and drank it and felt the sun on our shoulders, and not even the expression of half-amusement, half-contempt on Hadley's face - as if he was watching apes drink beer instead of men - could spoil it. It lasted twenty minutes, that beer-break, and for those twenty minutes we felt like free men. We could have been drinking beer and tarring the roof of one of our own houses.”
Stephen King, Different Seasons

Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“But the nice man had cold eyes. When interacting with his fascinated lady-harem, they had been blue. But when he turned his attention to me - however briefly - I could have sworn that they turned gray, the color of water beneath a sky from which snow will soon fall.”
Stephen King, 11/22/63

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality.
But what could I tell her about those things that she didnt already know?
I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and
underestimating the human racethat rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I
wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious,
and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.
None of those things, however, came out of my mouth.
All I was able to do was turn to Liesel Meminger and tell her the only
truth I truly know. I said it to the book thief and I say it now to you.


A LAST NOTE FROM YOUR NARRATOR
I am haunted by humans.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
