Quote by Peter Straub

“I almost always write everything the way it comes out, except I tend much more to take things out rather than put things in. It's out of a desire to really show what's going on at all times, how things smell and look, as well as from the knowledge that I don't want to push things too quickly through to climax; if I do, it won't mean anything. Everything has to be earned, and it takes a lot of work to earn.”

Knocked down two entire walls, and later had four knuckle surgeries. Still wasn't as high as Rob Ford.”
