“I supply my own angels and demons. I exist on a stony beach, which lowers itself in waves toward a protective ocean. A dog barks; a child cries; the day sinks and becomes night. You can never scare me. No human being will be able to scare me ever again. I have a prayer that I repeat to myself in absolute stillness: May a wind come to stir up the ocean and the stifling twilight. May a bird come from water out there and explode the silence with its call.” HumansMayChildrenAbleNightWaterMy OwnPrayerHuman BeingsSilenceDogCryWindOceanBirdAngelAbsolutesWaveBeachRepeatsDemonScareStillnessTwilightProtectiveBarkAngels And DemonsStifling Book:Images: my life in film Source: Images: my life in film
“God knows we have our own demons to be cast out, our own uncleanness to be cleansed. Neurotic anxiety happens to be my own particular demon, a floating sense of doom that has ruined many of what could have been, should have been, the happiest days of my life, and more than a few times in my life I have been raised from such ruins, which is another way of saying that more than a few times in my life I have been raised from death - death of the spirit anyway, death of the heart - by the healing power that Jesus calls us both to heal with and to be healed by.” KnowsWayShouldHeartHas BeensHappensSpiritJesusMy OwnHealingParticularAnxietyShould HaveRaisedCastsHealRuinsDemonRuinedFloatingAnother WayCould Have BeenDoomGod KnowsHealedNeuroticShould Have Been Author:Frederick Buechner
“I and everyone else in this world live in what is probably the most difficult times that have ever been. We are facing total thermonuclear destruction; and, if you can make someone believe in a ghost or a demon or a vampire in the face of that, you are doing well. From my own personal point of view, I don't think just blood and guts is enough. At least, it isn't for me. Maybe it will turn someone's stomach; but, I'm not sure that is literature or even entertainment.” IfsThinkingWorldBelieveWellsEnoughFacesTurnsLiteratureDifficultMy OwnViewsBloodThis WorldDestructionEntertainmentPoint Of ViewGhostVampireNot SureDemonGutsStomachDifficult Times Author:Stephen King
