“Religion is based on the insistence that over and above all is a purpose and a guiding hand that is beneficent and kind, and would not leave a hair unnumbered or let a sparrow fall unnoticed to the ground. Those who cherish such hallucinations forget that the all-loving power is inflicting tuberculosis, cancer, famine, and pestilence on the trusting, simple sons of men.” MenKindGodHandsPurposeFallReligiousSimpleForgetSonHairCancerCherishFamineUnnoticedHallucinationsInsistenceSparrowsPestilenceTuberculosis Author:Clarence Darrow
“You're part of the human fabric of experience. You don't have to have cancer to write about cancer. You don't have to have somebody close to you die to understand what death is. Definitely, the more you live, the more experiences fall into your spectrum. As a writer, you must have been told: Write about what you know. But Kafka didn't. Gogol didn't. Did Shakespeare write only what he knew? Our own selves are limitless. And our capacity for empathy is giant.” KnowsWritingHumansHas BeensSelfDiesFallEmpathyCapacityCancerGiantsFabricLimitlessSpectrumGogol Author:Regina Spektor
“There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. One kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other kind of evil is predestined evil. It falls on you like a stroke of lightning. That's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. I gotta worry whether or not I'm getting cavities. I gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. Those are things I can change. Don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. If that hits me I just say, "That's probably the way God meant it to be."” PeopleIfsWayGivingKindI CanTwoFallEvilStuffDealsFictionWorryClearSkyHorrorGive MeCancerScaryLightningCigaretteDrsStrokesPredestinedHydeJekyllClear SkiesMr HydeScary Stuff Author:Stephen King
