More quotes by Stephen King

Stephen King
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Say what you mean. Say what you see. Make a photograph, if you can, for the reader.
Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King
Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.
Stephen King
Death was no less a miracle than birth.
Stephen King
The Overlook was still not done with him. Written on the mirror, not in lipstick but in blood, was a single word: REDRUM
Stephen King
A cowardly leader is the most dangerous of men.
Stephen King
A good reputation is something that must be earned, yet can never be bought.
Stephen King
Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.
Stephen King
He had come to believe that life was a series of ironic ambushes. - Doctor Sleep
Stephen King
And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that.
Stephen King
I want to engage the reader. I'm an emotional writer, in the sense that I would be happy if you re-read a book for the intellectual or the mental part of it, but, the first time, I just like to reach out and grab you, pull you in.
Stephen King
sure, we need the gypsies. we always have. because if you don't have someone to run out of town once in a while, how are you going to know you yourself belong there?
Stephen King
