1 " In the end we are all caught in devices of our own making. I believe that. In the end we are all caught. "
― Stephen King , 1922
2 " When you think of it that way, every murderer is a Gate of Heaven. "
3 " And is there Hell, or do we make our own on earth? "
4 " They say that loving eyes can never see, but that’s a fool’s axiom. Sometimes they see too much. "
5 " ...and I still feel that hate today, when so many other feelings have been burned out of my heart. "
6 " I hope there isn’t. It’s lonely, but I hope there isn’t. I imagine all murderers hope there isn’t. Because if there’s no Heaven, there’s no Hell. "
7 " Here is something I learned in 1922: there are always worse things waiting. "
8 " In the end we are all caught in devices of our own making. "
9 " You might understand that all the joy has gone out of the world for you, that what you did has put all you hoped to gain out of your reach, you might wish you were the one who was dead—but you go on. You realize that you are in a hell of your own making, but you go on nevertheless. Because there is nothing else to do. "
10 " 1922 had been the worst year of my life, one where I’d turned into a man I no longer knew... "
11 " People say lots of things. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place, a broken mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, a whippoorwill calling at midnight means someone in the family’s going to die. "
12 " Cities are for fools. "
13 " I wonder if Hell can be worse than the City of Omaha. "
14 " Assume makes an ass out of you and me, the foreman replied. "
