Quote by Stephen King

“What she felt most of all on the day when Bill sat down next to her behind a funeral parlor she could not bring herself to enter, was the sense that she had lost something vital; not just a purse or a credit card, but the life she could have led if things had been just a little different, or if God had seen fit to put just a little more of some important chemical in her system.”

“As far as I am concerned, anyone who hopes for the universal reconciliation of all creatures with God must already believe that this would be the best possible ending to the Christian story; and such a person has then no excuse for imagining that God could bring any but the best possible ending to pass without thereby being in some sense a failed creator.”

“...Following the bird you lay into a deep turn in the steepening descent. It [the snow] is super soft, bottomless and amazingly light, yet supportive. It feels like something in between floating on top, and within the top of a deep-pile carpet as you link turn after turn down the open glacier. Each side of you are fellow riders, though not too close, whooping with exhilaration and flying down, down towards the valley below. The pitch gets steeper and the slope widens out, with seemingly endless space to the sides and an untracked oblivion ahead and beneath you. Each turn is delicious softness; you can almost feel every snow crystal reacting with the base of your skis. Those skis feel like extensions of your feet, and you connect with the mountain through a portal link created by the snowpack, as the spray from the turn hangs in the air behind you...”

“Toda la filosofía del Infierno descansa en la admisión del axioma de que una cosa no es otra cosa y, en especial, de que un ser no es otro ser. Mi bien es mi bien, y tu bien es el tuyo. Lo que gana uno, otro lo pierde. Hasta un objeto inanimado es lo que es excluyendo a todos los demás objetos del espacio que ocupa; si se expande, lo hace apartando a otros objetos, o absorbiéndolos. Un ser hace lo mismo. Con los animales, la absorción adopta la forma de comer; para nosotros, representa la succión de la voluntad y la libertad de un ser más débil por uno más fuerte. “Ser” significa “ser compitiendo”.”
