“I knew there were no ghosts in there, but on the other hand, what if there were?”

“Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters.? Stephen King, The Shining”

“That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.”

“But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. True sorrow is as rare as true love.”

“The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart knows what the heart knows”

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills.
