More quotes by Stephen King
We all have a tendency to want order in our lives. But order presupposes authority, and authority presupposes, sooner or later, that we'll all need hooves. It's going to happen sooner or later, isn't it? You know it is.
Stephen King
But in high school the business of irrevocable choices began. Doors slipped shut with a faint locking click that was only heared clearly in the dreams of later years.
Stephen King
I started off thinking Eminem was a flash in the pan, a kind of hip-hop Hanson brother. How wrong I was. Recovery is sometimes funny, sometimes terrible, always painfully honest. The matching of Eminem and Rihanna on Love the Way You Lie is pure genius. Not Afraid is pretty great too.
Stephen King
I believe in evil, but all my life I've gone back and forth about whether or not there's an outside evil, whether or not there's a force in the world that really wants to destroy us, from the inside out, individually and collectively.
Stephen King
...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.
Stephen King
and then woe is you, Pauly. Woe to the max.
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
I did a couple of writing seminars in Canada with high school kids. These were the bright kids they all have computers, but they can't spell. Because spell-check won't [help] you if you don't know through from threw. I told them, If you can read in the 21st century, you own the world. Because you learn to write from reading.
Stephen King
I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.
Stephen King
And if you are honest about the words coming out of your characters' mouths, you'll find that you've let yourself in for a fair amount of criticism.
Stephen King
Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
Stephen King
Until we see each other again, keep your head together, read some good books, be useful, be happy.
Stephen King
To write is human, to edit is divine.
Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
Stephen King
Little by little, writers develop their own styles, each as unique as a fingerprint.
Stephen King
The mystery of the universe is not time but size.
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
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.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
