Stephen King: It

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

We lie best when we lie to ourselves.

When you got big enough to be noticed, you got big enough to come gunning for.

When you were inside the changes, they were harder to see. You had to step back to see them.

When love comes before puberty, it can come in waves so clear and so powerful that no one can stand against its simple imperative.
