More quotes by Stephen King
What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly?
Stephen King
I want to engage the reader. I'm an emotional writer, in the sense that I would be happy if you re-read a book for the intellectual or the mental part of it, but, the first time, I just like to reach out and grab you, pull you in.
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
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.
Stephen King
Science is beginning to encroach on every level of our volition. And to me, that is a frightening social concept. It doesn't have anything to do with the right to have an abortion verses the right to life. It has to do with the ability of science to keep things alive and the ability of science to really control our lives.
Stephen King
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
Stephen King
In polite society, we call our obsessions hobbies.
Stephen King
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane.
Stephen King
Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?
Stephen King
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
Stephen King
You've got to do something to fill up your day. And I can only play so much guitar and watch so many TV shows. It fulfills me. There are two things about it I like: It makes me happy, and it makes other people happy.
Stephen King
I've spread my legs in the backseat in a creative sense quite a few times.
Stephen King
After the 9/11 apocalypse happened in New York City, people, particularly New Yorkers, who breathed in the ash, or saw the results of that, have a tendency to keep seeing echoes and having flashbacks to it.
Stephen King
Most gothics are overplotted novels whose success or failure hinges on the author's ability to make you believe in the characters and partake of the mood.
Stephen King
It's a hard life if you don't weaken.
Stephen King
I don't want you to apologize for being rich I want you to acknowledge that in America, we all should have to pay our fair share.
Stephen King
Seven, Richie thought. That's the magic number. There has to be seven of us. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Stephen King
Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.
Stephen King
