More quotes by Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
Stephen King
Marriage is referred to in the bible as “mystical union,” and it really is in the sense that two people who don’t know each other get together. I’m always interested in how much you find out about the other person and how much you don’t find out.
Stephen King
In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.
Stephen King
Little by little, writers develop their own styles, each as unique as a fingerprint.
Stephen King
The crazy people of the world...shouldn't get to win. If God won't make it better after they do have their shitty little victories, then ordinary people have to. They have to try, at least.
Stephen King
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
We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.
Stephen King
The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.
Stephen King
They say that loving eyes can never see, but that's a fool's axiom. Sometimes, they see too much
Stephen King
Rationalism is the idea that we can ever understand anything about the state of being. It's a deathtrip. It always has been. . . . And if rationalism is a deathtrip, then irrationalism might very well be a lifetrip . . . at least until it proves otherwise.
Stephen King
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
No one can be as intellectually slothful as a really smart person
Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
In polite society, we call our obsessions hobbies.
Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
Sooner or later everything you thought you'd left behind comes around again. For good or ill, it comes around again.
Stephen King
I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.
Stephen King
You can't deny laughter when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.
Stephen King
You cannot condemn a man for what may only be a figment of your own imagination.
Stephen King
