A great, rare interview with Stephen King: http://bit.ly/13NHH3f
Stephen King on why he keeps writing:
“The major job is still to entertain people. Joyland really took off for me when the old guy who owns the place says, ‘Never forget, we sell fun.’ That’s what we’re supposed to do—writers, filmmakers, all of us. That’s why they let us stay in the playground.”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald (via girlwithoutwings)

I just saw The Great Gatsby.
It was magical.
I remember reading the book in the eight grade and being furious with it. I didn’t understand why Nick Caraway would want to be around people like that. This movie though, watching it unfold the way it did, showed the depths of these characters that I didn’t understand back then. There were tears in my eyes by the end.
People, this movie captured the book perfectly. And Leo does not disappoint.
