Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life.
Stephen King
Read a lot, write a lot is the great commandment.
Stephen King
What I'd show you is much more bizarre than anything we have looked at so far, and I warn you in advance that the first impulse will be to laugh. That's all right. Laugh if you must. Just don't take your eye off what you see, for even in your imagination, here is a creature who can do you damage.
Stephen King

Stephen King
And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.
Stephen King

Stephen King
There is the Watchmaker Theory that God wound up the universe and let it tick. That may be. or it may be that he takes a hand in things from time to time. But whatever it is, I am sure that there is something out there.
Stephen King
As we get older, our fears, in some way, sharpen and become more personal, because we can no longer - let's say take a book like It or maybe Christine, and say these are make-believe fears.
Stephen King
Was it pretty? Your country. . .your land? It was beautiful, the gunslinger said. There were fields and forests and rivers and mists in the morning. But that's only pretty. My mother used to say that the only real beauty is order and love and light.
Stephen King
If you're just starting out as a writer, you could do worse than strip your television's electric plug-wire, wrap a spike around it, and then stick it back into the wall. See what blows, and how far. Just an idea.
Stephen King
Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.
Stephen King
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Stephen King
Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.
Stephen King
Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up
Stephen King
Bad chances were better than no chances.
Stephen King
We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
Doubters will doubt to the end.
