More quotes by Stephen King
When the reader hears strong echoes of his or her own life and beliefs, he or she is apt to become more invested in the story.
Stephen King
It's a writer's job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone.
Stephen King
Mornings belong to whatever is new the current composition. Afternoons are for naps and letters.
Stephen King
a cloud-congested caul that is alternately red, orange, vermilion, purple. Sometimes the clouds break apart in great, slow rafts, letting through beams of innocent yellow sunlight that are bitterly nostalgic for the summer that has gone by.
Stephen King
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
Might as well try to drink the ocean with a spoon as argue with a lover.
Stephen King
A library card is good to have, you can never have too much ID.
Stephen King
Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But at the same time, there's a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, well, if this is God's plan, it's very peculiar. And you have to wonder about that guy's personality, the big guy's personality.
Stephen King
People seem to think there's a magic formula to writing, i just write 1 word at a time.
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
The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
Stephen King
You know what talent is? The curse of expectation. As a kid you have to deal with that, beat it somehow. If you can write, you think God put you on earth to blow Shakespeare away. Or if you can paint, maybe you think--I did--that God put you on earth to blow your father away.
Stephen King
Pain is the biggest power of love.
Stephen King
Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.
Stephen King
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.
Stephen King
Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.
Stephen King
We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.
Stephen King
Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned.
Stephen King
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.
