Manipulation Quote by Stephen King
““But people like Henry never did. People like Henry always came back, because people like Henry knew how to use trust. It was the only thing people like Henry did know how to use. First they changed trust into need, then they changed need into a drug, and once that was done, they – what was Eddie’s word for it? – push. Yes. They pushed it.””
