More quotes by Stephen King
There had never been a shortage of fools in the world
Stephen King
A kid of your age---any kid---could get hold of matches if she wanted to, burn up the house or whatever. But not many do. Why would they want to?
Stephen King
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
Stephen King
Working with him was sort of like trying to defuse a bomb with somebody standing behind you and every now and then clashing a pair of cymbals together. In a word, upsetting.
Stephen King
In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman says.
Stephen King
I think what you do is, you keep your sensors open. And it's - the more that you do the job, the more you come to understand in a kind of intuitive way that you're always - you know, your radar is on. And the thing is going around and around and around. And it's not picking up any blips.
Stephen King
I don't really map anything out. I just let it happen [while writing]. But once it happens, it's always there. If it's laid, it's played. If I get to page 300 and it's not working, I junk it.
Stephen King
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
Stephen King
Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?
Stephen King
You can't polish a turd.
Stephen King
Art should be a place of hope.
Stephen King
Fantasy fiction is essentially about the concept of power great fantasy fiction is about people who find it at great cost or lose it tragically mediocre fantasy fiction is about people who have it and never lose it but simply wield it.
Stephen King
Semi-automatic s have only two purposes. One is so owners can take them to the shooting range once in a while, yell yeehaw, and get all horny at the rapid fire and the burning vapor spurting from the end of the barrel. Their other use-their only other use-is to kill people.
Stephen King
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
Stephen King
The King is in his Tower, eating bread and honey. The Breakers in the basement, making all the money.
Stephen King
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
The only [working] ritual is making tea. I use the loose leaves and drink it by the gallon.
Stephen King
Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses.
Stephen King
I'm afraid of all kinds of things. I'm afraid of failing at whatever story I'm writing - that it won't come up for me, or that I won't be able to finish it.
Stephen King
