More quotes by Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
The shuddering would not stop. The pain was like the end of the world. He thought: There comes a point when the very discussion of pain becomes redundant. No one knows there is pain the size of this in the world. No one. It is like being possessed by demons.
Stephen King
There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
I believe that anyone using the phrase 'That's so cool' should have to stand in the corner.
Stephen King
I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
Stephen King
no knowledge obtained without risk
Stephen King
Forced to define 'irrational subconscious,' I would say that it is a small padded room inside all of us, where the only furnishing is a small card table, and the only thing on the card table is a revolver loaded with flexible bullets.
Stephen King
A successful novel should interrupt the reader’s life, make him or her miss appointments, skip meals, forget to walk the dog.
Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
If you want to play, you gotta pay.
Stephen King
He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands.
Stephen King
It's dialogue that gives your cast their voices, and is crucial in defining their characters.
Stephen King
Stories are relics, part of an undiscovered pre-existing world.
Stephen King
He killed them with their love.
Stephen King
It's a writer's job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone.
Stephen King
Ninety-five percent of people who walk the earth are simply inert. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are people who do what they say they can do.
Stephen King
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Stephen King
I’m not particularly keen on writing which exhaustively describes the physical characteristics of the people in the story and what they’re wearing… I can always get a J. Crew catalogue… …So spare me, if you please, the hero’s ‘sharply intelligent blue eyes’ and ‘outthrust determined chin’.
Stephen King
Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses.
Stephen King
If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
