Stephen King Quotes

Callahan Found That The Common First Reaction To News Of Cancer, Strokes, Heart Attacks, Or The Failure Of Some Major Organ Was One Of Betrayal. The Patient Was Astounded To Find That Such A Close (and, Up To Now At Least, Fully Understood) Friend As One's Own Body Could Be So Sluggard As To Lie Down On The Job. The Reaction Which Followed Close On The Heels Of The First Was The Thought That A Friend Who Would Let One Down So Cruelly Was Not Worth Having. The Conclusion That Followed These Reactions Was That It Didn't Matter If This Friend Was Worth Having Or Not. One Could Not Refuse To Speak To One's Traitorous Body, Or Get Up A Petition Against It, Or Pretend That One Was Not At Home When It Called. The Final Thought In This Hospital-bed Train Of Reasoning Was The Hideous Possibility That One's Body Might Not Be A Friend At All, But An Enemy Implacably Dedicated To Destroying The Superior Force That Had Used It And Abused It Ever Since The Disease Of Reason Set In.
