More quotes by Stephen King
There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.
Stephen King
The essential and defining characteristic of childhood is not the effortless merging of dream and reality, but only alienation. There are no words for childhood's dark turns and exhalations. A wise child recognizes it and submits to the necessary consequences. A child who counts the cost is a child no longer.
Stephen King
When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
Stephen King
True love always happens in a flash.
Stephen King
Successful rebellions always begin in secret.
Stephen King
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
It is, after all, the dab of grit that seeps into an oyster's shell that makes the pearl, not pearl-making seminars with other oysters.
Stephen King
Bloom never pissed me off because there are critics out there, and he's one of them, who take their ignorance about popular culture as a badge of intellectual prowess.
Stephen King
Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions.
Stephen King
I always like to see enlightened parents like that it gives me hope for the future.
Stephen King
Don't look back, never look back. How often do people tell themselves that after an experience that is exceptionally good (or exceptionally bad?)? Often, I suppose. And the advice usually goes unheeded. Humans were built to look back that's why we have tat swivel joint in our necks.
Stephen King
I love my sons and I love that they are writers - I also love my daughter, who's a minister and an orchard keeper! - but I wouldn't wish the burden of Mid-World and the Dark Tower on them. I enjoy working with them, though, because we fit together.
Stephen King
Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story
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
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
If you don’t have the time to do something right, where are you going to find the time to fix it?
Stephen King
I am in trouble here. This woman is not right.
Stephen King
Even when love isn't enough...somehow it is.
Stephen King
If I kept saying it if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.
Stephen King
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
