More quotes by Stephen King

Image
You can go through your whole life telling yourself that life is logical, life is prosaic, life is sane. Above all sane. And I think it is. I've had a lot of time to think about that. And what I keep coming back to is [her] dying declaration: 'So you understand that when we increase the number of variables, the axioms themselves never change.'

The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
Image
I know I can do it, Todd Downey said, helping himself to another ear of corn from the steaming bowl. I'm sure that in time her death will be a mystery, even to me.

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

I have the world's best job. I get paid to hang out in my imagination all day.
Stephen King
Image
Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.

Stephen King
Image

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Stephen King
Image
Love is what moves the world, I've always thought...it is the only thing which allows men and women to stand in a world where gravity always seems to want to pull them down...bring them low...and make them crawl.
Stephen King
Image
There is no such thing as a happy ending. I never met a single one to equal Once upon a time.

In polite society, we call our obsessions hobbies.
Stephen King
Image
He smiles a lot. But I think there might be worms inside him making him smile.

Image
If God rewards us on earth for good deeds—the Old Testament suggests it’s so, and the Puritans certainly believed it—then maybe Satan rewards us for evil ones.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.
Stephen King
Image
The simple truth of things is that bad dreams are far better than bad wakings.
Stephen King
Image
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.

Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.
