I feel the need to point out that "get busy living or get busy dying" was actually Stephen King quoting Bob Dylan...as he is so often wont to do. ("You will not die, it's not poison" and "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" seem to be two more of his unattributed Dylan favorites.)

Hi,

The Dylan line actually is -

''He not busy being born is busy dying'.
('Its alright ma (I'm only bleeding))

And the weatherman line (from whence they got their name) is from 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'.
