You Can Quote Me on That!

For March, since it's my birthday month and I love love LOVE to read, I'm going to quote a different author every day. The first is Stephen King, who I would like to thank for getting me through the middle and high school years. Reading about things more weird and horrific than my own angst-filled existence made me feel almost...dare I say it?...normal.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.



Okay, so I lied - it's three quotes. Honestly, I don't read much Stephen King any more. I don't know if I just grew up, or outgrew his stories. From what I've read about him as a person, he doesn't really seem like someone who I'd enjoy knowing - which may be part of it, too. But then again, sometimes I don't really seem like someone who I'd enjoy knowing, either. I did watch Bag of Bones on Netflix last weekend and I have to say, it was every bit as creepily wonderful as the book.

One down, thirty to go!
