“I have never felt like I was creating anything. For me, writing is like walking through a desert and all at once, poking up through the hardpan, I see the top of a chimney. I know there's a house under there, and I'm pretty sure that I can dig it up if I want. That's how I feel. It's like the stories are already there. What they pay me for is the leap of faith that says: 'If I sit down and do this, everything will come out okay.'” IfsKnowsWantFeelsWritingI CanStoriesHouseFeltPayWalkingCreatingOkayDown AndDesertLeapChimneysLeap Of Faith Author:Stephen King
“I've always assumed that every time a child is born, the Divine reenters the world. Okay? That's the meaning of the Christmas story. And every time that child's purity is corrupted by society, that's the meaning of the Crucifixion story. Your man Jesus stands for that child, that pure spirit, and as its surrogate, he's being born and put to death again and again, over and over, every time we inhale and exhale, not just at the vernal equinox and on the twenty-fifth of December.” MenWorldChildrenStoriesSpiritReligionJesusBornDivineMoralityPureOkayPurityAgain And AgainDecemberCrucifixionInhaleSurrogatesEquinox Author:Tom Robbins
