More quotes by Stephen King
Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story
Stephen King
Constant reading will pull you into a place - a mind-set, if you like the phrase - where you can write eagerly and without self-consciousness.
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
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
So okay - there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Stephen King
The harder you had to work to open a package, the less you ended up caring about what was inside.
Stephen King
Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Invitation to Dance- It’s a Dance. And sometimes they turn the lights off in this ballroom. But we’ll dance anyway, you and I. Even in the Dark. Especially in the Dark. May I have the pleasure?
Stephen King
I can't see the future, but it's grim. The depletion of resources - we're living in this dine-and-dash economy.
Stephen King
Until we see each other again, keep your head together, read some good books, be useful, be happy.
Stephen King
FEAR stands for face everything and recover – Old AA saying
Stephen King
Too often, in novels that are speculative, God is a kind of kryptonite, and that's about all that it is, and it goes back to Dracula, where someone dumps a crucifix in Count Dracula's face, and he pulls away and runs back into his house. That's not religion. That's some kind of juju, like a talisman.
Stephen King
We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
Stephen King
It's as if God gave you something-all those stories- and said, Here you are. Try not to lose it. But children lose everything unless somebody is there to help them, and if your parents are too stupid to do it, maybe i ought to.
Stephen King
Death was no less a miracle than birth.
Stephen King
A short story is like a kiss in the dark.
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
Semi-automatic s have only two purposes. One is so owners can take them to the shooting range once in a while, yell yeehaw, and get all horny at the rapid fire and the burning vapor spurting from the end of the barrel. Their other use-their only other use-is to kill people.
Stephen King
To write is human, to edit is divine.
Stephen King
