More quotes by Stephen King
I think of fear as a survival function, and in the stories that I write, the only thing that I've tried to do is provide people with nightmares which are really safe places to put those fears for a while because you can say afterwards that uh, that, that well it was all just make-believe anyway, so I just took my emotions for a walk.
Stephen King
When the reader hears strong echoes of his or her own life and beliefs, he or she is apt to become more invested in the story.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
There are all sorts of dream interpretations, Freud's being the most notorious, but I have always believed they served a simple eliminatory function, and not much more - that dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.
Stephen King
As a kid, death seemed boring to me. As an adult, I think that it seems more like a waste of everything. Somebody once said every time a professor dies, a library burns.
Stephen King
A good reputation is something that must be earned, yet can never be bought.
Stephen King
The first movie I can remember seeing was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. And, I can remember hearing a radio play of Ray Bradbury's Mars Is Heaven. And when I cut my teeth on comic books, they were not the easy ones of today like Spiderman, Superman and The Hulk. they were Tales Of The Crypt, The Vaultkeeper, and that sort of thing.
Stephen King
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
Stephen King
Her body was wrapped in shadows like moth wings, like rose-petals.
Stephen King
As with all other aspects of fiction, the key to writing good dialogue is honesty.
Stephen King
And if you are honest about the words coming out of your characters' mouths, you'll find that you've let yourself in for a fair amount of criticism.
Stephen King
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Stephen King
Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
Stephen King
There is zero, and there is eternity, and there is mortality, but there is no ultimate.
Stephen King
When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank.
Stephen King
Invitation to Dance- It’s a Dance. And sometimes they turn the lights off in this ballroom. But we’ll dance anyway, you and I. Even in the Dark. Especially in the Dark. May I have the pleasure?
Stephen King
As always at these times when he felt really in need of God the front of his mind was serene, but the deeper part, where faith did constant battle with doubt, was terrified that there would be no answer.
Stephen King
