More quotes by Stephen King
When creative people do their best work, they're hardly ever in charge, they're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut yelling wheee.
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
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
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Stephen King
Pray for rain while digging a well.
Stephen King
The dream didn't fade as dreams usually do upon waking.
Stephen King
When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.
Stephen King
The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.
Stephen King
The wind makes you ache is some place that is deeper than your bones. It may be that it touches something old in the human soul, a chord of race memory that says Migrate or die - migrate or die.
Stephen King
Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said only a corpse may speak true prophecy.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
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
When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank.
Stephen King
The only wat to get better at writing is to write. And read.
Stephen King
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest reasons, the last link of the chain all too often drips with someone's blood.
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
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
Stephen King
No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don't.
Stephen King
