More quotes by Stephen King
Just go on dancing with me like this forever and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoe on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.
Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear
Stephen King
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
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
You cant be too careful on a skateboard.

Superhero movies and comic books teach a lesson that runs directly counter to the culture-of-violence idea: guns are for bad guys too cowardly to fight like men.
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
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
Writing's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King
As a rule, I don't worry about genre. I just want to tell a good story, with characters that interest me and my readers.
Stephen King
And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that.
Stephen King
The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear? Yes. My Imagination. I thought you were going to say Fear, itself. Then you have a small imagination.
Stephen King
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
I'd been raised by my parents to believe barfing your feelings on other people was the height of impoliteness.
Stephen King
Poe was the first writer to write about main characters who were bad guys or who were mad guys, and those are some of my favorite stories.
Stephen King
A coward judges all he sees by what he is.
Stephen King
Roland had taught him that self-deception was nothing but pride in disguise, an indulgence to be denied.
