First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.-Roland Deschain, of Gilead
Stephen King
If you're going into a very dark place, then you should take a bright light, and shine it on everything. If you don't want to see, why in God's name would you dare the dark at all?
Stephen King
I work until beer o'clock.
Stephen King
Do I know what people say? Sure. I shrug it off. what else can you do? Stop people from talking? You might as well try to stop the wind from blowing.
Stephen King

Stephen King
What is writing? Writing is telepathy.
Stephen King
They were nice enough people and all, but there wasn't much love in them. Because they were too busy being afraid. Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn't grow very well in a place where it was always dark.
Stephen King
The things a man sees when he ain't got a gun.--Watson the Caretaker

Stephen King
I like to end stories where the readers have a little room to run. They can resolve things as they like in their own mind.
Stephen King
I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.
Stephen King
It's a mystery. That's the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it's mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.
Stephen King
Whatever came to mind, whatever came to hand, I would read.
Stephen King
The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
Stephen King
All right I think we've been down here in the dark long enough. There's a whole other world upstairs. Take my hand Constant Reader and I'll be happy to lead you back into the sunshine. I'm happy to go there because I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of.
Stephen King
THE THREE is really wonderful. A mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.
Stephen King
And that almost killed you? It wasn't deep but it got infected. Infection means that the bad germs got into it. Infection's the most dangerous thing there is, Tom. Infection was what made the superflu germ kill all the people. And infection is what made people want to make the germ in the first place. An infection of the mind.
Stephen King
Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.
Stephen King
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen
Stephen King
