Stephen King

Stephen King
Death is when the monsters get you.
Stephen King
I always felt that organized religion was just basically a theological insurance scam where they're saying if you spend time with us, guess what, you're going to live forever, you're going to go to some other plain where you're going to be so happy, you'll just be happy all the time, which is also kind of a scary idea to me.
Stephen King
I did spend years as an addict, so I know that world, although I wish I didn't.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King
When you write you tell yourself a story. When you rewrite you take out everything that is NOT the story.
Stephen King
Every man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God.
Stephen King

Stephen King
A short story is like a kiss in the dark.
