           BOOK STARTERS VOL.57    THE SHINING    STEPHEN KING
❛ Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters. ❜
❛ I’m not gonna hurt ya. I’m just going to bash your brains in. ❜
❛ Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win. ❜
❛ The world’s a hard place. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t hate you and me, but it doesn’t love us, either. ❜
❛ The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge. ❜
❛ Pull your act together and just go on. ❜
❛ I had never dreamed there could be so much pain in a life when there is nothing physically wrong. I hurt all the time. ❜
❛ Tough old world, baby. If you’re not bolted together tightly, you’re gonna shake, rattle, and roll before you turn thirty. ❜
❛ Are you sure self-pity is a luxury you can afford? ❜
❛ Truth comes out. In the end it always comes out. ❜
❛ Living by your wits is always knowing where the wasps are. ❜
❛ No matter where you go, the same asshole gets off the plane. ❜
❛ We sometimes need to create unreal monsters and bogies to stand in for all the things we fear in our real lives. ❜
❛ That’s your job in this hard world, to keep your love alive and see that you get on, no matter what. ❜
❛ Human nature, baby. Grab it and growl. ❜
❛ God wiped snot out of his nose and that was you. ❜
❛ Run away. Quick. And remember how much I love you. ❜
❛ How many times, over how many years, have I—a grown adult—asked for the mercy of another chance? ❜
❛ I was suddenly so sick of myself, so revolted. ❜
❛ You listen to me. I’m going to talk to you about it this once and never again this same way. ❜
❛ But those pieces, they’ll never fit just the same way again. Never in this world. ❜
❛ Dying is a part of living. You have to keep tuning in to that if you expect to be a whole person. ❜
❛ Officious little prick. ❜
❛ I’ve been sleepwalking again, my dear. — The plants are moving under the rug. ❜
❛ How I wish you were fear. ❜
❛ But it was a dreadful kind of curiosity, the kind that makes you peek through your fingers during the scariest parts of a scary movie. ❜
❛ All we have is time, you know. An eternity of time. Or shall we end it? Might as well. After all, we’re missing the party. ❜
❛ We all remember our pleasant dreams more clearly than the scary ones. ❜
❛ The way things should be and the way things are hardly ever get together. ❜
❛ Got to be regular if you want to be happy. ❜

❛ in the span of your life there’s plenty to avoid: the wicked, the merciless, the things you want for no reason other than wanting them. ❜
❛ you are dazzling and terrifying - those words are not as removed from one another as you may think. ❜
❛ flirt with death, tease the inevitable, give the void a saucy wink. ❜
BOOK XII: OBITUARIES
❛ things to bother believing in: love, switchblades, extraterrestrials. ❜
❛ let the record show that they were ill-equipped to deal with you. which is unsurprising, since you ill-equipped to deal with you. ❜

all of the events of the film happened with the exception of the treasure that was found in mikey’s marble bag being found, meaning that the goon docks did end up getting sold and the goonies disbanded. instead of moving to detroit, richard [ data ] and his family end up settling in hawkins, indiana, about an hour or two out of indianapolis.
