The Gunslinger QUOTES

41 " When the blood came out of my mouth I could taste my own shit. "

43 " The man in black smiled. "Shall we tell the truth then, you and I? No more lies?"

"I thought we had been."

But the man in black persisted as if Roland hadn't spoken. "Shall there be truth between us, as two men? Not as friends, but as equals? There is an offer you will get rarely, Roland. Only equals speak the truth, that's my thought on't. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of regard. How tiresome! "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

44 " Los mundos temblaron, casi al alcance de sus dedos, y cierto instinto le hizo luchar por no dejarse corromper; pero su mente, más fría, albergaba el conocimiento de que esta lucha era en vano y de que siempre lo sería. "

47 " I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

48 " - Разбра ли това, което ти разказах?...
- Разбирам - каза Джейк. - Било е игра, нали? Защо възрастните винаги си играят?...Дали хората израстват, или просто остаряват? "

49 " The man in black smiled. "Shall we tell the truth then, you and I? No more lies?"

50 " Beyond the reach of human rage
A drop of hell, a touch of strange ... "

On his shell he holds the earth.
If you want to run and play,
Come along the BEAM today. "

52 " The universe (he said) offers a paradox too great for the finite mind to grasp. As the living brain cannot conceive of a nonliving brain — although it may think it can — the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

53 " In the end we are reduced to saying It seemed like a good idea at the time. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

54 " The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts, huge, standing to the sky for what looked like eternity in all directions. It was white and blinding and waterless and without feature save for the faint, cloudy haze of the mountains which sketched themselves on the horizon and the devil-grass which brought sweet dreams, nightmares, death. An occasional tombstone sign pointed the way, for once the drifted track that cut its way through the thick crust of alkali had been a highway. Coaches and buckas had followed it. The world had moved on since then. The world had emptied. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

55 " And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

56 " A time will come when it won’t pass.’
The gunslinger made no reply, for he knew this was true. The trap had a ghastly perfection. If someone told you you’d go to hell if you thought about seeing your mother naked (once when the gunslinger was very young he had been told this very thing), you’d eventually do it. And why? Because you did not want to imagine your mother naked. Because you did not want to go to hell. Because, if given a knife and a hand in which to hold it, the mind would eventually eat itself. Not because it wanted to; because it did not want to. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

59 " The world has moved on,' we say... we've always said. But it's moving on faster now. Something has happened to time. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger

60 " It had been no struggle to turn his face to the south and leave it behind — but it had hurt his heart. "

― Stephen King , The Gunslinger
