There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.

How life did imitate art sometimes. And the cruder the art, the closer the imitation.

I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.

I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.

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.

All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.

The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
Stephen King
Image
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.
