“People are always dying. Its a terrible habit they have and nothing you can do will change that.”

“I hate the assumption that you can’t write about something because you haven’t experienced it, and not just because it assumes a limit on the human imagination, which is basically limitless.

The idea is false on the evidence. Like shit, change happens.”
― Stephen King, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
