Talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force.
Stephen King
Image
Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.

Stephen King
Image
There’s always a choice. That’s God’s way, always will be. Your will is still free. Do as you will. There’s no set of leg-irons on you. But... this is what God wants of you.

Stephen King
Image
I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.
Stephen King
Image
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.

True sorrow is as rare as true love.

I am your number one fan.

Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.

The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.
Stephen King
Image
Don’t go beyond, no matter how much you feel you need to, Doctor. The barrier was not made to be broken. Remember this: there is more power here than you know. It is old and always restless. Remember.

I want to write about spiders. To me, this is the one theme that cuts right across and scares just about everybody. Spiders, to me, are just about the most horrible, awful things that I can think about. I think everyone is afraid of spiders.

Whenever anything important happens in America, they have to gold-plate it, like baby shoes. That way you can forget it.
