Stephen King. The ballad of the flexible bullet (№ 392593)

- Madness is a flexible bullet.<...> the editor said. - This phrase, or rather, the image of "flexible bullet" is taken from Marianne Moore. She used it when describing someone's car. But I always thought that he very well describes just the state of madness. It is a sort of intellectual suicide. In my opinion, and doctors now argue that the only true definition of death is the death of intelligence. And the madness is a flexible bullet entering the brain.
