Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.
Stephen King
Image
I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.
Stephen King
Image
It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged.
Stephen King
Image
I write in the mornings, in the bright daylight. But I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.
Stephen King
Image
When love leaves the world, all hearts are still. Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask.
Stephen King
Image
Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward life with all the courage you can find and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand.
Stephen King

Teddy, Vern, Chris: I don't shut up. I grow up. And when I look at you, I throw up. Aghhh! Gordie: And then your mom goes around the corner and she licks it up.

Maybe that's why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.

Image
And didn't they say that, although curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought the beast back?
Stephen King
Image
I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.
Stephen King

By and large... the good's an illusion, little fables folks tell themselves so they can get through their days without screaming too much.
Stephen King
Image
Adults are the real monsters.
Stephen King
Image
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
Stephen King
Image
Some tears have to be cried no matter what the hour- until they are, they simply rave and burn inside.
Stephen King
Image
Just the act of cooking made her feel better, because cooking was life.
Stephen King
Image
You discarded most of the lies along the way but held on to the one that said life mattered.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen
Stephen King
Image
Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.
Stephen King
Image
If I kept saying it if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.
