Some of my favorite moments from Stephen The King's magnum opus, the Dark Tower saga:

• ❝...Kill if you will, but command me nothing!" the gunslinger roared. "You have forgotten the faces of those who made you! Now either kill us or be silent and listen to me, Roland of Gilead, son of Steven, gunslinger, and lord of the ancient lands! I have not come across all the miles and all the years to listen to you and your childish prating! Do you understand? Now you will listen to ME!❞

• ❝... those were the days before she was mazed and fell into the sad bitchery that brought her under a gun in another hand... Roland Deschain, Wind Through The Keyhole.❞

• ❝... For Gilead and the Calla!" he roared. "Now, gunslingers! Now, you Sisters of Oriza! Now, now! Kill them! No Quarter! Kill them all!...❞ Roland Deschain, Wolves Of The Calla.❞

• ❝... Go then, there are other worlds than these...❞ Jake Chambers, The Gunslinger.❞

• ❝... Who are you? Eddie screams at him. “Your destiny, Eddie the gunslinger whispers...❞ Roland Deschain and Eddie Dean, Drawing Of The Three.❞

• ❝... Control the things you can control, maggot. Let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing.... Roland Deschain and Eddie Dean, Drawing Of The Three.❞

• ❝... “Will ye set us on with a word, gunslinger?” Aunt Talitha asked...At last he raised his head again. “Will you drink to the earth, and to the days which have passed upon it?” he asked. His voice was hoarse, trembling with emotion. “Will you drink to the fullness which was, and to friends who have passed on. Will you drink to good company, well met? Will these things set us on, Old Mother?❞ Roland Deschain, The Waste Lands❞

• ❝... _“Will ye break bread with us before you push on, gunslinger? You and your band of knights?
• Roland bowed again. “It has been long and long since we have broken bread in company other than our own, Old Mother. We cannot stay long, but yes—we’ll eat your food with thanks and pleasure
• Roland Deschain, _The Waste Lands❞

• The old woman turned to the others. She spoke in a cracked and ringing voice—yet it was the words she spoke and not the tone in which they were spoken that sent chills racing down Jake’s back: “Behold ye, the return of the White! After evil ways and evil days, the White comes again! Be of good heart and hold up your heads, for ye have lived to see the wheel of ka begin to turn once more!"
• Aunt Talitha, The Waste Lands❞
