The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
I'm a slow reader, but I usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, most fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft I read because I like to read
Stephen King
A library is a place where you can live a thousand lives. So why are you waiting when you could be living? Visit your library today.
Stephen King
You cannot condemn a man for what may only be a figment of your own imagination.
Stephen King
I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.... I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework. I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight stroll on the beach at Waikiki with the resort tennis pro while you read a few more chapters.
Stephen King
If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Stephen King
I think of fear as a survival function, and in the stories that I write, the only thing that I've tried to do is provide people with nightmares which are really safe places to put those fears for a while because you can say afterwards that uh, that, that well it was all just make-believe anyway, so I just took my emotions for a walk.
Stephen King
and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.
Stephen King
That's the day's business. Thinking. Thinking and isolation, because it doesn't matter if you pass the time of day with someone or not in the end, you're alone. He seemed to have put in as many miles in his brain as he had with his feet. The thoughts kept coming and there was no way to deny them.
Stephen King
Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot if difference. They don't have to makes speeches. Just believing is usually enough.
Stephen King
He killed them with their love.
Stephen King
She had never dreamed there could be so much pain in a life when there was nothing physically wrong. She hurt all the time.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
Stephen King
Mornings belong to whatever is new the current composition. Afternoons are for naps and letters.
Stephen King
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.
Stephen King
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Stephen King
Things were going very fast now. Too fast to suit him. Fantasy and reality had merged.
Stephen King
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
