I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.

More quotes by Stephen King
The late afternoon sunlight, warm as oil, sweet as childhood.
Stephen King
If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
Kill you all! The clown was laughing and screaming. Try to stop me and I'll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can't stop me!
Stephen King
The worst advice? 'Don't listen to the critics.' I think that you really ought to listen to the critics, because sometimes they're telling you something is broken that you can fix.
Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear
Stephen King
My father had taught me - mostly by example - that if a man wanted to be in charge of his life, he had to be in charge of his problems.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.
Stephen King
Fear is the emotion that makes us blind.
Stephen King
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
Stephen King
The color white is the absence of memory.
Stephen King
As far as where I go when I die, the concept that I am simple going to flick out, like a light bulb, to me is not only spiritually impossible to believe, but logically it is laughable - the idea that we simply die and nothing happens.
Stephen King
I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.
Stephen King
It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
No writer, painter, or actor - no artist - is ever handed a sharp knife (although a few people are handed almighty big ones the name we give to the artist with the big knife is 'genius'), and we hone with varying degrees of zeal and aptitude.
