More quotes by 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
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Stephen King
He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever.
Stephen King
This was the Darker Life, where every truth was written backward.
Stephen King
That's the curse of the reading class. We can be seduced by a good story even at the most inopportune moments.
Stephen King
But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it.
Stephen King
God doesn't bribe, child. He just makes a sign and lets people take it as they will.
Stephen King
there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Stephen King
She felt like someone who drowns remembering what it was like to still be on the boat, so calm and at ease, so carelessly safe
Stephen King
All you imagined, no matter how wild it might seem, was no more than a disguised version of what you already knew.
Stephen King
It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
The unconscious mind writes poetry if it's left alone.
Stephen King
Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life.
Stephen King
We don't know the days that will change our lives. Probably just as well.
Stephen King
I can't lie and say there are no bad writers. Sorry, but there are lots of bad writers.
Stephen King
no knowledge obtained without risk
Stephen King
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Stephen King
Give a man or woman back his self-respect, and in most cases-not all, but most-you also give back that person's ability to think with at least some clarity.
Stephen King
As we get older, our fears, in some way, sharpen and become more personal, because we can no longer - let's say take a book like It or maybe Christine, and say these are make-believe fears.
Stephen King
It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little (or not at all in some cases) should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written.
