"[On political correctness:] Any intended message mattered less than the received message, and every received message could be interpreted in whatever way the receiver wanted."

Previous Quote

Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn't grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story... To make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.

— Stephen King
