“God? Listen a minute, would You? I need some help here, I really do. I’m in a mess and I’m terrified. Please help me get out of this, okay? I . . . um . . . I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.”
― Stephen King, Gerald's Game

“Men still think the same things about us they have always thought, Ruth - I'm sure of it. A lot of them have learned to say the right things at the right times, but as my mother used to say, 'Even a cannibal can learn to recite the Apostles' Creed'.”
― Stephen King, Gerald's Game

“Some memories battened onto a person's mind like evil leeches, and certain words could bring them instantly back to squirming, feverish life.”
― Stephen King, Gerald's Game

“But who knows how long a grief may last? Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled... not even in death?”
― Stephen King, It
