“You’re just a kid, Gordie—”

“Gee, thanks, Dad.”

“I wish to fuck I was your father!” he said angrily. “You wouldn’t go around talking about takin those stupid shop courses if I was! It’s like God gave you something, all those stories you can make up, and He said: This is what we got for you, kid. Try not to lose it. But kids lose everything unless somebody looks out for them and if your folks are too fucked up to do it then maybe I ought to.”
― Stephen King, The Body

“Speech destroys the functions of love, I think…If you speak to tell a deer you mean it no harm, it glides away with a single flip of its tail. The word is the harm. Love isn't what these…poets...want you to think it is.”
― Stephen King, The Body
