Stephen King
Even when love isn't enough...somehow it is.
Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King
If you don’t have the time to do something right, where are you going to find the time to fix it?
Stephen King
The writer's original perception of a character or characters may be as erroneous as the reader's.
Stephen King
Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
To the devil with false modesty.
Stephen King
It's a long way back to Eden, Sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.
Stephen King
