21 " Вината, малкия, винаги се крие на едно и също място: в човека, който е достатъчно слаб за да я носи. "
― Стивън Кинг , The Drawing of the Three
22 " Where you think I’m goan?’ ‘Well,’ Eddie said, ‘what was behind Door Number One wasn’t so hot, and what was behind Door Number Two was even worse, so now, instead of quitting like sane people, we’re going to go right on ahead and check out Door Number Three. The way things have been going, I think it’s likely to be something like Godzilla or Ghidra the Three-Headed Monster, but I’m an optimist. I’m still hoping for the stainless steel cookware. "
― Stephen King , The Drawing of the Three
23 " Why do you keep looking back there?" the guy in charge had asked. "From time to time I need an antidote," Eddie said."From what?""Your face. "
24 " If you have given up your heart for the Tower, Roland, you have already lost. A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast. To be a beast is perhaps bearable, although the man who has become one will surely pay hell’s own price in the end, but if you should gain your object? What if you should, heartless, storm the Dark Tower and win it? What could you do except degenerate from beast to monster? To gain one’s object as a beast would only be bitterly comic, like giving a magnifying glass to an elephaunt. But to gain one’s object as a monster…To pay hell is one thing. But do you want to own it? "
25 " - The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear?'- Yes.- My Imagination.- I thought you were going to say "Fear, itself." - Then you have a small imagination. "
26 " Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame. "
27 " Because you may not love the candy-man, but you do love the candy. "
28 " A lawyer's answer...so close to the truth that the truth was able to hide in its shadow. "
29 " The Tower. He would come to the Dark Tower and there he would sing their names; there he would sing their names; there he would sing all their names. The sun stained the east a dusky rose, and at last Roland, no longer the last gunslinger but one of the last three, slept and dreamed his angry dreams through which there ran only that one soothing blue thread: There I will sing all their names! "
30 " This is what romance gets you--a noose around your neck and a crazy woman with two guns somewhere behind you. "
31 " Oh, there were all sorts of things to wonder about, but the truth was simple: here stood this door alone on an endless stretch of beach, and it was for only one of two things: opening or leaving closed. "
32 " If you kill what you love, you're damned. "
33 " What a paragon of virtue you are, gunslinger!" the man in black laughed. "
34 " So for a moment the gunslinger merely stood inside the door, first amazed, then ironically amused. Here he was in a world which struck him dumb with fresh wonders seemingly at every step, a world where carriages flew trough the air and paper seemed as cheap as sand. And the newest wonder was simply that for these people, wonder had run out: here, in a place of miracles, he saw only dull faces and plodding bodies. "
35 " I want to go to war," Eddie Dean said calmly. "You don't know what you're talking about," Roland said, "but you're going to find out."Eddie nodded. They went to their war. "
36 " We all die in time,” the gunslinger said. “It’s not just the world that moves on. "
37 " A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast. "
38 " The palm of his hand was a dull red. Not a good sign.I jerk off left-handed, he thought, at least that’s something. "
39 " Very well. I am now a man with now food, with two less fingers and one less toe than I was born with; I am a gunslinger with shells which may not fire; I am sickening from a monster's bite and have no medicine; I have a day's water if I'm lucky; I may be able to walk perhaps a dozen miles if I press myself to the last extremity. I am, in short, a man on the edge of everything. "
40 " What great wrong did you ever do that you should inspire such terrible loyalty in so many? "
