Image
Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.
Stephen King
Image
When you write, you want to get rid of the world, don’t you? Of course you do. When you’re writing, you’re creating your own worlds.
Stephen King
Image
I understand from my own work that haste makes waste. But I also understand that ... the creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. William Shakespeare, for instance, hasn’t produced a new play for 400 years. That, my friends, is a long dry spell.
Stephen King
Image
So where do the ideas-the salable ideas-come from? They come from my nightmares. Not the night-time variety, as a rule, but the ones that hide just beyond the doorway that separates the conscious from the unconscious.

One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal.
Stephen King
Image
They had discovered one could grow as hungry for light as for food.

You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
Image
Your pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you. Now eat your pie.
Stephen King
Image
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
Image
The shining. It was a good name, a comforting name, because she had always thought of it as a dark thing.
Stephen King
Image
When creative people do their best work, they're hardly ever in charge, they're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut yelling wheee.
Stephen King
Image
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do.
Stephen King
Image
If it's ka it'll come like a wind, and your plans will stand before it no more than a barn before a cyclone
Stephen King
Image
The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
Stephen King
Image
I've put men to death-men with supposedly immortal souls-that looked dumber than that mouse

The late afternoon sunlight, warm as oil, sweet as childhood.
