Me too.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.

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."
