More quotes by Stephen King
Not writing would be like going the rest of your life without having dreams.
Stephen King
I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
Stephen King
Because things like this you can only ssay once. And you either get it wrong or right, it's the end either way, because it's too hard to ever try to say again.
Stephen King
I do not aim with my hand he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.
Stephen King
It didn´t occur to me until later that there´s another truth, very simple: greed in a good cause is still greed.
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.
Stephen King
I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.
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
For me, good description usually consists of a few well-chosen details that will stand for everything else.
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal.
Stephen King
Symbolism exists to adorn and enrich, not to create an artificial sense of profundity.
Stephen King
I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.
Stephen King
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Stephen King
he looked to her like an absurd twentieth-century Hamlet, an indecisive figure so mesmerized by onrushing tragedy that he was helpless to divert its course or alter it in any way.
Stephen King
Anything with the power to make you laugh over thirty years later isn’t a waste of time. I think something like that is very close to immortality.
Stephen King
...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.
Stephen King
