IT'S ABOUT THE LANGUAGE--Best Lines or Passages from Mr. King

He felt like the only CroMagnon in a herd of thindering Neanderthals. Harold Lauder The Stand

 

[RandallFlagg19]

"He believed to much in nothing.Very Unwise behavior" - Stephen King: Everything's Eventual:1408

 

[Ex nihilo]

I can't remember which book it is from but it goes "In the dark ditch of the night" or something like that.

 

[Riot87]

He clicked an intercom switch inside his helmet with his chin and said, “If this one doesn’t work, we’ll lose him by midnight.”
For Vic Palfrey, magic hour was over- The Stand

I just loved this line from Rose Madder, it's so true:

"To fully understand about hugging, maybe you had to have missed a lot of it".

Sometimes I'm listening to a something and the language just makes me stop. The language is so striking that it pulls me out of the story and I have an achy lovesick appreciation how Mr. King wrote that line or that passage. Let's show Mr. King we are not just scary story junkies but admirers of the art that he works so hard to craft. I'll start.

Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.---Bag Of Bones

Dear Red, If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don't you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I'll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend, Andy.

my favorite will always just be "Sometimes, dead is better."

 

[jt0565]

A short story is a different thing all together - a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger

 

[jt0565]

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet

 

[jt0565]

And will I tell you that these three lived happily ever after? I will not, for no one ever does. But there was happiness. And they did live

 

[jt0565]

It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright

 

[jt0565]

All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one

 

[Mr Larry Underwood]

"Oficious little pr*ck"

Everytime I send my CV...

 

[MadamMack]

Some that immediately come to mind.....

"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home."
- The Stand

One of my favorites.

From Cujo.
The dog was grinning in at her; he was grinning in at her, Cujo was his name, and his bite was death.

 

[AchtungBaby]

"I can hear my wife as I write this, in the next room, crying. She thinks I was with another woman last night.
And oh dead God, I think so too."

Well this was a test balloon and it popped! I suppose you have to draw the line somewhere and I wasn't that surprised when the punchline was bleeped out. Too bad cause it always makes me laugh
