More quotes by Stephen King
A good reputation is something that must be earned, yet can never be bought.
Stephen King
Lightning flashed dully inside the clouds on the horizon making them look as if they had fireflies of their own, monster fireflies the size of dinosaurs.
Stephen King
But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.
Stephen King
Dreams age faster than dreamers.
Stephen King
Only God gets things right the first time.
Stephen King
His mother called such people ignorant and superstitious, but his father only shook his head slowly and puffed his pipe and said that sometimes old stories had a grain or two of truth in them and it was best not to take chances. It was why, he said, he crossed himself whenever a black cat crossed his path.
Stephen King
the only mortal sin is giving up.
Stephen King
...stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when if feels like all you're managing is to shovel sh*t from a sitting position.
Stephen King
Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said only a corpse may speak true prophecy.
Stephen King
I know life is hard, I think everyone knows that in their hearts, but why dos it have to be cruel, as well? Why does it have to bite?
Stephen King
Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts, which explains why so many writers who have run out of gas can keep coasting anyway, propelled on to the bestseller lists by the magic words AUTHOR OF on the covers of their books.
Stephen King
You're dead, George. You just don't have the sense to lie down.
Stephen King
My father had taught me - mostly by example - that if a man wanted to be in charge of his life, he had to be in charge of his problems.
Stephen King
I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me. I think we tend to write out our phobias.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
In the years since, I've discovered there's a lot to be said for boredom.
Stephen King
I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.... I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework. I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight stroll on the beach at Waikiki with the resort tennis pro while you read a few more chapters.
Stephen King
I always felt that organized religion was just basically a theological insurance scam where they're saying if you spend time with us, guess what, you're going to live forever, you're going to go to some other plain where you're going to be so happy, you'll just be happy all the time, which is also kind of a scary idea to me.
Stephen King
I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.
Stephen King
