“There will be water if God wills it.”
Stephen King

“I wish I could describe the feeling of being at sea, the anguish, frustration, and fear, the beauty that accompanies threatening spectacles, the spiritual communion with creatures in whose domain I sail. There is a magnificent intensity in life that comes when we are not in control but are only reacting, living, surviving. I am not a religious man per se. My own cosmology is convoluted and not in line with any particular church or philosphy. But for me, to go to sea is to glimpse the face of God. At sea i am reminded of my insignificance-- of all men's insignificance. It is a wonderful feeling to be so humbled.”
Steve Callahan

Spider Robinson
“This is what it is to be human: to see the essential existential futility of all action, all striving -- and to act, to strive. This is what it is to be human: to reach forever beyond your grasp. This is what it is to be human: to live forever or die trying. This is what it is to be human: to perpetually ask the unanswerable questions, in the hope that the asking of them will somehow hasten the day when they will be answered. This is what it is to be human: to strive in the face of the certainty of failure. This is what it is to be human: to persist.”
Spider Robinson

La mayor parte de los escritores que se ocupan de ese tema, en realidad, son mas escépticos respecto de los espíritus, los demonios y los espantapájaros de lo que suele serlo el hombre de la calle.
Lovecraft era ateo. Edgar Allan Poe, un trascendentalista bastante ignorante. Y la religión de Hawthorne no era mas que convencional.”
Stephen King, ’Salem’s Lot

Stephen        King
“Boże, użycz mi pogody ducha, abym godziÅ‚ siÄ™ z tym, czego nie mogÄ™ zmienić, odwagi, abym zmieniaÅ‚ to, co mogÄ™ zmienić, i szczęścia, aby mi siÄ™ jedno z drugim nie popieprzyÅ‚o.”
Stephen King, ’Salem’s Lot
