"I'm having second thoughts about the Veronal as a result. Taking it is very much like swallowing some Pepto-Bismol to quiet the bellyache and then getting on the plane anyway." -Glen Bateman, The Stand
"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home." - Glen Bateman, The Stand
"In an old, cracked, but strong voice she would cry out: Weasels in the corn! and he would feel the change in himself [...]. He was a weasel, a cowardly nocturnal thing preying on the weak and the small."- The Stand by Stephen King
"Trashcan Man was a beaten thing, used to accepting the punchings and pummelings of both his own inexplicable fate and nature, and doing so with a bowed head."- The Stand by Stephen King
"To the west, where the shadows were even now gathering, in their twilight dance of death."- The Stand by Stephen King
Although I liked almost everything that Tom Cullen said, this had to be my favorite: "I'm going to see him in heaven. Tom Cullen is going to see him there and he'll be able to talk and I'll be able to think."
My favorite part of the book: "Ralph cleared his throat. [...] 'He says that he don't believe in God.' The message relayed, he looked unhappily down at his shoes and waited for the explosion. But she only chuckled, got up, and walked across to Nick. She took one of his hands and patted it. "Bless you, Nick, but that doesn't matter. He believes in you.'"
