Duma Key by Stephen King

I'm reading it now.

I'm only 34 pages in and have already seen fit to journal some quotations about being an artist.

Like this one:

"Remember that the truth is in the details. No matter how you see the world or what style it imposes on your work as an artist, the truth is in the details. Of course, the devil's there too--everyone says so--but maybe truth and the devil are words for the same thing. It could be, you know."

Interesting.

Made me think of the Garden, the fall, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, God shutting off the Garden of Eden so we wouldn't eat from the Tree of Life because he was afraid we'd do it and become immortal in that state and how he had a plan for redemption, so that we could share in eternal life, but good eternal life.

Also thinking about how people have "dumbed down" God and his word.

Thanks to Katrina at Callipidder Days! I think I'll join in.


Any suggestions? I'll be compiling a list this week.
