Quote by Stephen King

God makes it all come right in the end, that's what Johnnie told Dock Barker just before we parted company. I was raised a Christian-I admit I fell away a bit along my journey-and I believe that: we're stuck with what we have, but that's all right; in God's eyes, none of us are really much more than flies on strings and all that matters is how much sunshine you can spread along the way.

Summary

This quote reflects the speaker's belief in the ultimate justice and fairness brought forth by God. Despite feeling disconnected from their Christian upbringing at times, they still hold onto the idea that in the end, God will ensure things are made right. The metaphor of being "flies on strings" suggests the insignificance of individuals in the grand scheme of things. Instead, what truly matters is the positive impact one can have on others and how much happiness and goodness one can spread throughout their life's journey.
