“He felt a tremor of fear at the image, and a disquieting thought... ran through his mind almost too quickly to read and was gone. But...but it wasn't all disquiet, was it? No. It was desire as well... The desire to go fast, to feel the wind race pass you without knowing if you were racing toward or running away from, to just go. To fly.

Disquiet and desire. All the difference between the world and want---the difference between being an adult who counted the cost and a child who just got on it and went, for instance. All the world between. Yet not that much difference at all. Bedfellows, really. The way you felt it when the roller coaster car approached the top of the first steep grade, are the ride really begins.

Disquiet and desire. What you want and what you're scared to try for. Where you've been and where you want to go. Something in a rock-and-roll song about wanting the girl, the car, the place to stand and be. Oh please God can you dig it.”
― Stephen King, It

Come on, Richie.’ Richie got up and turned toward the door. ‘Fuck you, Bitch!’ he cried suddenly, and kicked the door shut with his foot. It made a solid chukking sound as it closed and latched. ‘Why’d you do that?’ Beverly asked.”

“leaving.
So you leave, and there is an urge to look back, to look back just once as the sunset fades,
to see that severe New England skyline one final time — the spires, the Standpipe, Paul with
his axe slung over his shoulder. But maybe it's not such a good idea to look back. All the
stories say so — look what happened to Lot's wife. Best not to look back. Best to believe there
will be happily ever afters all the way around — and so there may be; who is to say there will
not be such endings? Not all boats which sail away into darkness never find the sun again, or
the hand of another child; if life teaches anything at all, it teaches that there are so many
happy endings that the man who believes there is no God needs his rationality called into
serious question.”
― Stephen King, It

“Интуитивно он понимал, как и большинство детей, что они живут ниже плоскости зрения, а потому и плоскости мышления, большинства взрослых. Когда взрослый шел по улице, погруженный в свои взрослые мысли о работе, о встречах и покупке автомобиля или о чем там еще думают взрослые, он никогда не замечал детей, играющих в классики, или в войну, или в пятнашки, или в чай-чай-выручай, или в прятки. Хулиганы вроде Генри могли всласть измываться над другими детьми, если помнили о том, что должны оставаться ниже плоскости видения взрослых. В самом крайнем случае проходящий взрослый мог сказать что-то вроде: «Почему бы вам это не прекратить?» — и двинуться дальше, не дожидаясь, чтобы посмотреть, прекратил хулиган безобразничать или нет. Так что хулиган обычно вел себя смирно, а когда взрослый поворачивал за угол… принимался за свое. Словно взрослые думали, что реальная жизнь начинается лишь после того, как человек становился выше пяти футов.”
― Stephen King, It

“But it's really faith that monsters live on, isn't it? I am led irresistibly to this conclusion: food maybe life, but the source of power is faith, not food. And who is more capable of a total act of faith than a child?”
