William Stafford
“They miss the whisper that runs
any day in your mind,
"Who are you really, wanderer?"--
and the answer you have to give
no matter how dark and cold
the world around you is:
"Maybe I'm a king.”
William Stafford

“A king who’s innocent
of the things of which he’s guilty?”
Kristin Cashore, Graceling

Stephen        King
“Outside, daylight was bleeding slowly toward dusk.”
Stephen King, The Running Man

Richard  Bachman
“He was a heavy breather. You could hear him puffing and blowing into the mike up there like some large and sweaty animal. I don't like that, never have. My father is like that on the telephone. A lot of heavy breathing in your ear, so you can almost smell the scotch and Pall Malls on his breath. It always seems unsanitary and somehow homosexual.”
Richard Bachman, Rage

Robert         Reid
“I am here at my Lord Cameron’s instructions to talk with you, not to fight you. However if your men decide to engage I will ensure that you are the first to die.”
Robert Reid, White Light Red Fire

“The advantages of a hereditary Monarchy are self-evident. Without some such method of prescriptive, immediate and automatic succession, an interregnum intervenes, rival claimants arise, continuity is interrupted and the magic lost. Even when Parliament had secured control of taxation and therefore of government; even when the menace of dynastic conflicts had receded in to the coloured past; even when kingship had ceased to be transcendental and had become one of many alternative institutional forms; the principle of hereditary Monarchy continued to furnish the State with certain specific and inimitable advantages.

Apart from the imponderable, but deeply important, sentiments and affections which congregate around an ancient and legitimate Royal Family, a hereditary Monarch acquires sovereignty by processes which are wholly different from those by which a dictator seizes, or a President is granted, the headship of the State. The King personifies both the past history and the present identity of the Nation as a whole. Consecrated as he is to the service of his peoples, he possesses a religious sanction and is regarded as someone set apart from ordinary mortals. In an epoch of change, he remains the symbol of continuity; in a phase of disintegration, the element of cohesion; in times of mutability, the emblem of permanence. Governments come and go, politicians rise and fall: the Crown is always there. A legitimate Monarch moreover has no need to justify his existence, since he is there by natural right. He is not impelled as usurpers and dictators are impelled, either to mesmerise his people by a succession of dramatic triumphs, or to secure their acquiescence by internal terrorism or by the invention of external dangers. The appeal of hereditary Monarchy is to stability rather than to change, to continuity rather than to experiment, to custom rather than to novelty, to safety rather than to adventure.

The Monarch, above all, is neutral. Whatever may be his personal prejudices or affections, he is bound to remain detached from all political parties and to preserve in his own person the equilibrium of the realm. An elected President � whether, as under some constitutions, he be no more than a representative functionary, or whether, as under other constitutions, he be the chief executive � can never inspire the same sense of absolute neutrality. However impartial he may strive to become, he must always remain the prisoner of his own partisan past; he is accompanied by friends and supporters whom he may seek to reward, or faced by former antagonists who will regard him with distrust. He cannot, to an equal extent, serve as the fly-wheel of the State.”
Harold Nicholson

Richard  Bachman
“You've got a shitty habit, you know it? I've noticed it on all those TV drive-safely pitches that you do. You breathe in people's ears. You sound like a stallion in heat, Philbrick. That's a shitty habit. You also sound like you're reading off a teleprompter, even when you're not. You ought to take care of stuff like that. You might save a life.”
Richard Bachman, Rage

Stephen King, The Running Man

Stephen        King
“Escribir una historia es contársela uno mismo -dijo él-. Cuando reescribes , lo principal es quitar todo lo que no sea la historia. ”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Stephen        King
“He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands”
Stephen King, The Running Man

V.C. King
“Protestors? At a funeral?”
V.C. King

Stephen King

Leo Tolstoy
“Vronsky saw nothing and no one. He felt himself as a king, not because she had made an impression on Anna-he did not yet believe that-but because the impression she had made on him gave him happiness and pride.”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Joe Abercrombie

Maya Motayne
“People like me, we’re ants, and rulers are just a big foot looming over us ready to squish us into the dirt. Doesn’t matter whose body the foot is attached to, the purpose is still the same.”
Maya Motayne, Nocturna

John Marsden
“A beggar who goes fishing may use a worm which has feasted on a king as his bait. And the fisherman may eat the fish caught with that bait. What does this tells us? Well, it tells us that a king may progress through the guts of a pauper.”
John Marsden, Hamlet

Toba Beta
“If king needs to be treated by psychiatrist,
then the people need replacements for both.”
Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

Patrick W. Carr
“Somebody's been feeding the boy fables. Probably the king's niece. Humph. Nice girl. Too many romantic notions, though.”
Patrick W. Carr, The Hero's Lot

Jack  Cavanaugh
“Libraries are medieval forests masking opportunity and danger; every aisle is a path, every catalog reference a clue to the location of the Holy Grail. It is here that I become privy to the sacred songs of kings and the ballads of rogues. Here are tales of life-and-death struggles of other wayfarers as they battle personal dragons and woo fair maidens. Walking down this hallway, I am a knight entering the forest in search of the truth...”
Jack Cavanaugh, A Hideous Beauty

Colson Whitehead
&ܴ;Á:
Metednos en la cárcel y nosotros os seguiremos amando. Arrojad bombas contras nuestras casas y amenazad a nuestros hijos, y nosotros, por muy difícil que sea, os seguiremos amando. Enviad a vuestros criminales encapuchados para que entren en nuestras comunidades al amparo de la noche y se nos lleven a rastras a un camino apartado y nos abandonen allí tras darnos una paliza de muerte, y nosotros os seguiremos amando. Pero tened por seguro que nuestra capacidad de sufrimiento acabará por agotaros, y que un día ganaremos nuestra libertad".”
Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys

Berlyn Hayes
“I can't rule the kingdom I love without the woman I love.”
Berlyn Hayes, Prodigy of Revenge

“There was once a king whose temper was so austere and morose that all who knew him feared rather than loved him. Very rarely did he show himself; and on the slightest suspicion he would put his subjects to death. And because he was always frowning they called him King Sombre.”
Madame D' Aulnoy, The Fairy Tales of Madame d’Aulnoy
