“There is no group therapy or psychiatry or community social services for the child who must cope with the thing under the bed or in the cellar every night, the thing which leers and capers and threatens just beyond the point where vision will reach.

― Stephen King, 'Salem's Lot

“As with all things sacred, it gives with one hand and takes with the other.”

“Do not compete with what is happening. To compete is to prepare for failure. Do not be trapped by the need to achieve anything. This way, you achieve everything.”

“I had to decide how to use that pressure. I had to decide whether it was going to crush me or turn me into a diamond.”
