Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.

Stephen King
About This Quote

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. The way to defeat a monster is to realize you are one yourself. That monsters are real is the first step, but dealing with the monster within you can be tricky because it can be stronger than you.

The second part of the quote doesn’t seem so important, but it really is. If you know that monsters are real, then you’ll try to defeat them instead of becoming one yourself.
