30 pieces of wisdom from Stephen King novels
Read the lines
While in various fictional universes, wisdom comes from left, right and centre, in real life, it's sadly lacking. Put your hand up if you have a wise confidante who spouts well-crafted one-liners about what on earth to do with your life. Yeah, didn't think so.

Read on and be inspired. Oh and then let us know what we've missed at the bottom.
