The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
Stephen King

Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.
Stephen King

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.

The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
Stephen King

I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King
Image
If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.

Do any men grow up or do they only come of age?
Stephen King
Image
Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.
Stephen King
Image
I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.

Image
In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives. . . .

Image
But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.
