Stephen King Quotes About Choices

Quotes about: Choices

• A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time.

You choose the lesser of two evils and try to keep your good intentions in front of you. And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.

• I drink a lot of beer, and that's the drug of choice. You find the drug that works for you.

He tries not to put additives into his body, or anything like that. But he can afford to do that because Harlan's drug of choice is Harlan.
