More quotes by Stephen King
Life turns on a dime. Sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?
Stephen King
I saw something even more beautiful than a sense of humor: an appreciation for life’s essential absurdity.
Stephen King
Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.
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

Stephen King
How life did imitate art sometimes. And the cruder the art, the closer the imitation.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Crying was like pissing everything out on the ground.
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
I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.
Stephen King
I am your number one fan.
Stephen King
The redness was going out of the light now, the remains of the day were a fading pink, the color of wild roses.
Stephen King
I don't take notes I don't outline, I don't do anything like that. I just flail away at the goddamn thing. I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami. You can't sell it as caviar.
Stephen King
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.
Stephen King
In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.
Stephen King
The harder you had to work to open a package, the less you ended up caring about what was inside.
Stephen King
no one dies happy, you can only die well
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
sure, we need the gypsies. we always have. because if you don't have someone to run out of town once in a while, how are you going to know you yourself belong there?
Stephen King
Being sorry for myself is a luxury I can't afford.
Stephen King
