More quotes by Stephen King
Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story.
Stephen King
The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
Stephen King
The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real. I know that, and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.
Stephen King
If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
There were people who lied for gain, people who lied from pain, people who lied simply because the concept of telling the truth was utterly alien to them . . . and then there were people who lied because they were waiting for it to be time to tell the truth.
Stephen King
One of life's great truths is this: when one is about to be struck by a speeding six-hundred pound Coke machine, one need worry about little else.

Stephen King
You'll consider what you did wrong & bookend your reflections with hunger - no supper, no breakfast.
Stephen King
I'm most afraid of losing my mind. You lose your identity, your sense of who you are, where you are.
Stephen King
Art should be a place of hope.
Stephen King
I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.
Stephen King
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
Every religion lies. Every moral precept is a delusion. Even the stars are a mirage. The truth is darkness, and the only thing that matters is making a statement before one enters it. Cutting the skin of the world and leaving a scar. That's all history is, after all: scar tissue.
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
At the time we’re stuck in it, like hostages locked in a Turkish bath, high school seems the most serious business in the world to just about all of us. It’s not until the second or third class reunion that we start realizing how absurd the whole thing was.
Stephen King
Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
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
