Links To King's Other Works
The character Dick Hallorann appears in King's It, as a young soldier who saves the life of the father of one of the novel's main characters at an African-American nightclub. The Regulators, written by King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, refers to the novel The Shining, and the film version is also referenced in one of the The Dark Tower novels. A poem that Jack Torrance reads in The Shining (actually written by King as an undergraduate) resurfaces in Lisey's Story. In Misery, Annie tells Paul that she once knew an artist who was heading to the mountains to sketch the ruins of the Overlook Hotel. She mentions that the caretaker went insane and burnt it to the ground. In King's The Stand, Mother Abigail refers to her gift of prophetic dreams as something her grandmother once called "the shining lamp of God, sometimes just the shine".

Famous quotes containing the words links to, links, king and/or works:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Ibsen is like this room where we are sitting, with all the tables and chairs. Do I care whether you have twenty or twenty-five links on your chain? Hedda Gabler, Nora and the rest: it is not that I want! I want Rome and the Coliseum, the Acropolis, Athens; I want beauty, and the flame of life.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
“We have not all had the good fortune to be ladies. We have not all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
