Stephen King
Image
I don't mean that creative people are somehow finer, or more sensitive, and thus have finer, more sensitive nervous breakdowns - you can save that horseshit for the Sylvia Plath worshipers. It's just that creative people have creative breakdowns.
Stephen King
Image
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Stephen King
Image
Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up
Stephen King

Whatever came to mind, whatever came to hand, I would read.

It didn´t occur to me until later that there´s another truth, very simple: greed in a good cause is still greed.

Do you need someone to make you a paper badge with the word WRITER on it before you can believe you are one? God I hope not.

This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
Image
There are things of such darkness and horror—just, I suppose, as there are things of such great beauty—that they will not fit through the puny human doors of perception.
Stephen King
Image
Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot if difference. They don't have to makes speeches. Just believing is usually enough.
