More quotes by Stephen King
I started off thinking Eminem was a flash in the pan, a kind of hip-hop Hanson brother. How wrong I was. Recovery is sometimes funny, sometimes terrible, always painfully honest. The matching of Eminem and Rihanna on Love the Way You Lie is pure genius. Not Afraid is pretty great too.
Stephen King
But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it.
Stephen King
True love always happens in a flash.
Stephen King
Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn't grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story... To make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.
Stephen King
He lay back, put his arm over his eyes, and tried to hold onto the anger, because the anger made him feel brave. A brave man could think. A coward couldn't.
Stephen King

Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
It's a hard life if you don't weaken.
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
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
When all else fails, give up and go to the library.
Stephen King
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King
and now, all these years later, it seem to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended
Stephen King
If you were seeing a lot of horseshit, there had to be a pony in the vicinity.
Stephen King
As with all other aspects of fiction, the key to writing good dialogue is honesty.
Stephen King
The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
