And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
Give me just enough information so that I can lie convincingly.
Stephen King
Sometimes loving eyes don't see what they don't want to see.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
Stephen King
Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
Stephen King
Marriage is referred to in the bible as “mystical union,” and it really is in the sense that two people who don’t know each other get together. I’m always interested in how much you find out about the other person and how much you don’t find out.
Stephen King
I have the world's best job. I get paid to hang out in my imagination all day.
Stephen King
Only God gets things right the first time.

Stephen King
Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.
Stephen King
Even when love isn't enough...somehow it is.
Stephen King
Fighting for peace, is like f***ing for chastity
Stephen King
The unconscious mind writes poetry if it's left alone.
Stephen King
I've spread my legs in the backseat in a creative sense quite a few times.
Stephen King
And she sees that the moonlight is losing its orange glow. It has become buttery, and will soon turn to silver.
Stephen King
Once, during the drinking phase, Wendy had accused him of desiring his own destruction but not possessing the necessary moral fiber to support a full-blown deathwish. So he manufactured ways in which other people could do it, lopping a piece at a time off himself and their family.
Stephen King
Weird love's better than no love at all.
Stephen King
Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
