It didn´t occur to me until later that there´s another truth, very simple: greed in a good cause is still greed.

The world was the Overlook Hotel, where the party never ended. Where the dead were alive forever.

I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.

Calling it a simple schoolgirl crush was like saying a Rolls-Royce was a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay-wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the Kissing Bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart all the time, a kind of sweet, hurtful ache. She would have died for him.

...they came to see what happened to their town, to see if it was indeed lying burnt and bleeding. Many of them also came to die.

I don't have anything against either of the Dead movies, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, none of those movies. If it scares somebody, I think that it is serving a valid purpose. It is doing what the filmmaker intended. But, it is not something that you hand to kids.

If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
