More quotes by Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
Marriage is referred to in the bible as “mystical union,” and it really is in the sense that two people who don’t know each other get together. I’m always interested in how much you find out about the other person and how much you don’t find out.
Stephen King
I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
Stephen King
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Stephen King
Say your name over two hundred times and discover you are no one.
Stephen King
No, it's not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.
Stephen King
This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
The kids accepted my drinking as a part of life. Not a particularly pernicious part. I didn't beat up on them. Basically I don't think I was so different from a lot of dads who have three or four martinis when they get in from work, wine with dinner and so on.
Stephen King
And when there are enough outsiders together in one place, a mystic osmosis takes place and you're inside.
Stephen King
Writing's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King
I still think that of all the people doing top fiction today, John D. MacDonald is the best.He was my model as a kid. If there are people out there that want to write, all you need to do is read 20 of his stories to get an idea what it takes to make a story kick over.
Stephen King
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Stephen King
JK Rowling created seven Horcruxes. She put a part of her soul in every book and now her books will live forever
Stephen King
They were nice enough people and all, but there wasn't much love in them. Because they were too busy being afraid. Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn't grow very well in a place where it was always dark.
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
God always punishes us for what we can't imagine.
Stephen King
When the dawn was still long hours away, bad thoughts took on flesh and began to walk. In the middle of the night thoughts became zombies.
