Favourite SK Line

I lost my copy of Insomnia many years ago in a house move, it was really annoying because I was three quarters of the way through it.

I never got around to reading it again until earlier this year when I re-read it in it’s entirety.

It contains my favourite SK line which is;

“The smell that heralded his arrival was not English Leather.”

What’s your favourite SK line?

"Living by your wits is always knowing where the wasps are."

-The Shining

This is a quote that pops into my head sometimes. It's like a proverb. I like it.

So many good ones... but I'll go with "Do you love?"

What book is this from? The Shining?

If I remember correctly, it's from IT.

from Song of Susannah...

"Anger is the most useless emotion, destructive to the mind and hurtful to the heart."

There are lots of cool and proverbial lines in King's work, but I tend to remember the ones that are pretty ridiculous.

"He thought about asking his mother why Mrs. Brant might want the car-man's pants, and decided against it"
-The Shining

"Premarital sex was wrong of course, but sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet"
-Needful Things

"HEY, BOBBY TERRY, YOU SCROOOOWED IT UP!"
-Randy Flagg, The Stand
