Philosophy Quote by Stephen King — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Many women sign anything their husbands put in front of them. - Well, I ain't many women”

“The monster nevers dies.”

“He had discovered that there was not just one God but many, and some were more than cruel — they were insane, and that changed all. Cruelty, after all, was understandable. With insanity, however, there was no arguing.”

“A person can go along quite awhile if they get a good day every once and again.”

“It's a hard life if you don't weaken.”

“This inhuman place makes human monsters.”

“Slowness means cleaving perfectly to time, so closely that the seconds fall one by one, drop by drop like the steady dripping of a tap on stone. This stretching of time deepens space. It is one of the secrets of walking: a slow approach to landscapes that gradually renders them familiar. Like the regular encounters that deepen friendship.”

“Love is my inner strength and my power.”

“Septimus has been working too hard" - that was all she could say to her own mother. To love makes one solitary, she thought.”

“Y ¿adónde encaminaría ahora mis pasos? A un tiempo y un mundo nuevos, a mi medida, donde no es necesario un amigo. Al paraíso de lo artificial.”

“Walking causes a repetitive, spontaneous poetry to rise naturally to the lips, words as simple as the sound of footsteps on the road. There also seems to be an echo of walking in the practice of two choruses singing a psalm in alternate verses, each on a single note, a practice that makes it possible to chant and listen by turns. Its main effect is one of repetition and alternation that St Ambrose compared to the sound of the sea: when a gentle surf is breaking quietly on the shore the regularity of the sound doesn’t break the silence, but structures it and renders it audible. Psalmody in the same way, in the to-and-fro of alternating responses, produces (Ambrose said) a happy tranquillity in the soul. The echoing chants, the ebb and flow of waves recall the alternating movement of walking legs: not to shatter but to make the world’s presence palpable and keep time with it. And just as Claudel said that sound renders silence accessible and useful, it ought to be said that walking renders presence accessible and useful.”
