And when there are enough outsiders together in one place, a mystic osmosis takes place and you're inside.

More quotes by Stephen King
I'm a slow reader, but I usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, most fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft I read because I like to read
Stephen King
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest reasons, the last link of the chain all too often drips with someone's blood.
Stephen King
The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its fellows rather, it is dispatched quickly and without mercy.
Stephen King
Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.
Stephen King
As always at these times when he felt really in need of God the front of his mind was serene, but the deeper part, where faith did constant battle with doubt, was terrified that there would be no answer.
Stephen King
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
Poe was the first writer to write about main characters who were bad guys or who were mad guys, and those are some of my favorite stories.
Stephen King
Long days and pleasant nights
Stephen King
Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
Stephen King
It was not fair, it was not fair, it was not fair. So cried his child's heart, and then his child's heart died a little. For that is also the way of the world.
Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame.
Stephen King
Oh, there were all sorts of things to wonder about, but the truth was simple: here stood this door alone on an endless stretch of beach, and it was for only one of two things: opening or leaving closed.
Stephen King
They were still all beautiful and there was still enchantment and wonder, but she had crossed a line and now the fairy tale was green with corruption and evil.
Stephen King
The ghost story movie that scared me the most was The Changeling with George C. Scott. I think that's sometimes overlooked, but it's a wonderful piece of work.
Stephen King
And will I tell you that these three lived happily ever after? I will not, for no one ever does. But there was happiness. And they did live.
Stephen King
I understand from my own work that haste makes waste. But I also understand that ... the creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. William Shakespeare, for instance, hasn’t produced a new play for 400 years. That, my friends, is a long dry spell.
Stephen King
Close your eyes and click your heals three times...because there's no place like Dome.
Stephen King
I saw something even more beautiful than a sense of humor: an appreciation for life’s essential absurdity.
Stephen King
...belief has a second edge. If there are ten thousand medieval peasants who create vampires by believing them real, there may be one - probably a child - who will imagine the stake necessary to kill it. But a stake is only stupid wood the mind is the mallet which drives it home.
Stephen King
