If you can't laugh when things go bad--laugh and put on a little carnival--then you're either dead or wishing you were.
Stephen King
Image
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.

Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes.
Stephen King
Image
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
Image
Well, I'm like a drug addict, I'm always saying I'm going to stop, and then I don't, what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.
Stephen King
Image
Why does everyone think that I am a cruel and insensitive man? I mean, come on, I have kids... on my desk in little jars!
