Quote by Stephen King

No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just... come out the other side. Or you don't.

No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were

Summary

This quote highlights the personal and often unobservable journey of transformation that individuals undergo. It emphasizes that this period of change, characterized as a "blue and lonely section of hell," is unique and subjective, unable to be fully understood or documented by others. It suggests that this transformation can either propel one to "come out the other side" as a different person or potentially leave them unchanged. Ultimately, it underscores the individual nature of personal growth and challenges the notion that there are clear roadmaps for navigating such internal shifts.

For many years, it seemed as if nothing changed in Norway. You could leave the country for three months, travel the world, through coups d'etat, assassinations, famines, massacres and tsunamis, and come home to find that the only new thing in the newspapers was the crossword puzzle.
