The sort of strenuous reading and writing program I advocate - four to six hours a day, every day - will not seem strenuous if you really enjoy doing these things and have an aptitude for them.
Stephen King
Constant reading will pull you into a place - a mind-set, if you like the phrase - where you can write eagerly and without self-consciousness.

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.'
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?

Stephen King
I don't want you to apologize for being rich I want you to acknowledge that in America, we all should have to pay our fair share.
Stephen King
I've killed enough of the world's trees.
Stephen King
And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God's language - it's better, it's finer, it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
Stephen King
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
To the devil with false modesty.

Little kids' minds are very, very strong. They bend. There's a lot of tensile strength and they don't break. We start our kids off on things like Hansel and Gretel, which features child abandonment, kidnapping, attempted murder, forcible detention, cannibalism, and finally murder by cremation. And the kids love it.
Stephen King
The terror, which would not end for another 28 years-if it ever did end-began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
Stephen King
Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?
Stephen King
But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
