More quotes by Stephen King
He had come to believe that life was a series of ironic ambushes. - Doctor Sleep
Stephen King
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Stephen King
there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Stephen King
Kids absolutely not reading. I think it's because they're so screen-oriented [TVs, computers, smartphones]. They do read - girls in particular read a lot. They have a tendency to go toward the paranormal, romances, Twilight and stuff like that. And then it starts to taper off because other things take precedence, like the Kardashian sisters.
Stephen King
And that almost killed you? It wasn't deep but it got infected. Infection means that the bad germs got into it. Infection's the most dangerous thing there is, Tom. Infection was what made the superflu germ kill all the people. And infection is what made people want to make the germ in the first place. An infection of the mind.
Stephen King
Bad chances were better than no chances.
Stephen King
I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.
Stephen King
Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?
Stephen King
I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. Dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. Just remember before you do that Dumbo didn’t need the feather the magic was in him.
Stephen King
As for the end of the universe…I say let it come as it will, in ice, fire, or darkness. What did the universe ever do for me that I should mind its welfare?
Stephen King
The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.
Stephen King
Eddie discovered one of his childhood's great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought.
Stephen King
You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go… well, anywhere at all.
Stephen King
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out.
Stephen King
Life turns on a dime.
Stephen King
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
Anywhere in New York, anywhere in the country, somewhere there's going to be a Coke sign. People identify with Coke. You can write a novel about New York and people from the country will read it if they feel that you've made them familiar with New York.
Stephen King
Nora Roberts is cool.
Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
Stephen King
