""The fixed eye of philosophy, and the rolling one too." People need pleasure as well as work and learning. Don't "be hard on" those who provide it. Also, the underlying idea of why should they be paid less? Visible kindness and love between those of the fair." — Aug 09, 2025 07:54PM

Stephen  King
“Engines. That's something else about being a teenager. There are all these engines, and somehow you end up with the ignition keys to some of them and you start them up but you don't know what the fuck they are or what they're supposed to do. There are clues, but that's all. The drug thing is like that, and the booze thing, and the sex thing, and sometimes other stuff too - a summer job that generates a new interest, a trip, a course in school. Engines. they give you the keys and some clues and they say, Start it up, see what it will do, and sometimes what it does is pull you along into a life that's really good and fulfilling, and sometimes what it does is pull you right down the highway to hell and leave you all mangled and bleeding by the roadside.”
― Stephen King, Christine

“It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse.”

― Markus Zusak
