More quotes by Stephen King
You can't polish a turd.
Stephen King
Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.
Stephen King
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out.
Stephen King
There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
I get inspiration, a lot of times, from very commonplace things that just strike a chord and develop themselves in the subconscious.
Stephen King
Eddie discovered one of his childhood's great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King
In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.
Stephen King
He's a very nice man and all that, easy to get along with, fun, he never makes me cry. But is that love? I mean, is that all there is to it? Even when you learned to ride your two-wheeler, you had to fall off a few times and scrape both knees. Call it a rite of passage. And that was just a little thing.
Stephen King
Pride was the belt you used to hold your pants up when you had no pants.
Stephen King
There is no such thing as a happy ending. I never met a single one to equal Once upon a time.
Stephen King
Just the act of cooking made her feel better, because cooking was life.
Stephen King
I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
Stephen King
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Stephen King
As always at these times when he felt really in need of God the front of his mind was serene, but the deeper part, where faith did constant battle with doubt, was terrified that there would be no answer.
Stephen King
Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
Stephen King
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Stephen King
The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
Stephen King
When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.
