“Everyone should have this, he thought, and perhaps, at the end, everyone does. Perhaps in their time of dying, everyone rises.”
― Stephen King, Elevation

“Gravity is the anchor that pulls us down into our graves.”

“Everything leads to this, he thought. To this elevation. If it's how dying feels, everyone should be glad to go.”
― Stephen King, Elevation

“Time is invisible. Unlike weight.
Ah, but maybe that wasn't true. You could feel weight, yes--when you were carrying too much, it made you ploddy--but wasn't it, like time, basically just a human construct? Hands on a clock, numbers on a bathroom scale, weren't they only ways of trying to measure invisible forces that had visible effects? A feeble effort to corral some greater reality beyond what mere humans thought of as reality?”
― Stephen King, Elevation
