Quote by Stephen King

“Il bambino, che più di ogni altro si trova a suo agio con il prodigioso, domanda: papà, che cosa c'è sopra il cielo? E il padre risponde: l'oscurità dello spazio. Il bambino: che cosa c'è oltre lo spazio? Il padre: la galassia. Il bambino: e oltre la galassia? Il padre: Un'altra galassia. Il bambino: oltre le altre galassie? Il padre: nessuno lo sa. Visto? La grandezza ci sconfigge.”
