Quote

High school isn't a very important place. When you're going you think it's a big deal, but when it's over nobody really thinks it was great unless they're beered up.

Image
I'd been raised by my parents to believe barfing your feelings on other people was the height of impoliteness.
Stephen King
Image
The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted.
Stephen King
Image
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
Stephen King
Image
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
Stephen King
Image
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common.
Stephen King
Image
And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that.
Stephen King
Image
I was sitting one day and thinking about cannibalism, because that's what guys like me do... and I thought, suppose a guy was washed up on a rocky island, how much of himself could he eat?
Stephen King
Image
Belief in the supernatural or belief in wild talents like precognition and telepathy and telekinesis and things like that, it seems to me that belief in those things is just very, very freeing.
Stephen King
Image
Terror. When you come home and notice everything you own has been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It’s when the lights go out and you feel something behind you-you hear it-you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around there’s nothing there.
Stephen King
Image
Of course they had more chains on him than Scrooge saw on Marley's ghost, but he could have kicked up dickens if he'd wanted. That's a pun, son.

Long days and pleasant nights
Stephen King
Image
God and the afterlife and all that is certainly a subject that's interested me, and I think it interests me more the older that I get.
Stephen King
Image
And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.
Stephen King
Image
There was a beautiful feeling of calm in my groin, a sense of peace so remarkable it was almost ecstasy——anyone who' suffered bad pain and then recovered will know what I'm talking about.
Stephen King
Image
The advantage of horror books is to take the reader and cut him out of the pack and work on him one on one. It has its advantages because the people that are there in the movie theater really are a mob. If you get one guy alone you can do a more efficient job of scaring him.
Stephen King
Image
Everyone needs a hobby, he said. And everyone needs a miracle or two, just to prove life is more than just one long trudge from the cradle to the grave.

Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear
Stephen King
Image
When I gave up dope and alcohol, my immediate feeling was 'I've saved my life, but there'll be a price because I'll have nothing that buzzes me any more'. But I enjoyed my kids. My wife loved me and I loved her. And eventually the writing came back and I discovered that the writing was enough. Stupid thing is that probably it always had been.

Dreams age faster than dreamers.

A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.
