More quotes by Stephen King
As it happened, all three of us turned out to be real writers--a coincidence almost too large to be termed mere coincidence in a society where literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of college students aspire to the writer's trade and where bare hundreds actually break through.
Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
I wasn't a social drinker. I used to say that I didn't want to go to bars because they were full of assholes like me.
Stephen King
If you have given up your heart ... you have already lost. A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast.
Stephen King
That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
Stephen King
There came a time when you realized that moving on was pointless. That you took yourself with you wherever you went.
Stephen King
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.
Stephen King
The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do.
Stephen King
I thought it was great fun to scare people. I also knew it was socially acceptable because there were a lot of horror movies out there.
Stephen King
and now, all these years later, it seem to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane.
Stephen King
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
Stephen King
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
The bad ideas kind of just drop out of the mix. You forget about them. The good ones stick around.
Stephen King
I've met talespinners before, Jake, and they're all cut more or less from the same cloth. They tell tales because they're afraid of life.
Stephen King
That's the curse of the reading class. We can be seduced by a good story even at the most inopportune moments.
Stephen King
Kill you all! The clown was laughing and screaming. Try to stop me and I'll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can't stop me!
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
