More quotes by Stephen King
So okay - there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King
I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.
Stephen King
Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.
Stephen King
We all have a tendency to want order in our lives. But order presupposes authority, and authority presupposes, sooner or later, that we'll all need hooves. It's going to happen sooner or later, isn't it? You know it is.
Stephen King
I have two amazing things in my life: I'm pain-free and I'm debt-free.
Stephen King
I am religious in the sense that I believe in God and I believe that there is an abiding logical spirit that controls what goes on to a certain extent.
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
Death is when the monsters get you.
Stephen King
First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.-Roland Deschain, of Gilead
Stephen King
and the rain went rollin down the windowpanes, and the shadows wiggled n' squiggled on her check and forehead like black veins.
Stephen King
I think everybody has experiences from time to time they can't explain. They are peculiarities. Usually we just dismiss them because they are uncomfortable to think about.
Stephen King
I'm seen as somebody who writes for adults because I'm an older man myself. Some of them find me, and a lot of them don't.
Stephen King
Weird love's better than no love at all.
Stephen King
Marriage is referred to in the bible as “mystical union,” and it really is in the sense that two people who don’t know each other get together. I’m always interested in how much you find out about the other person and how much you don’t find out.
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane.
Stephen King
Love is what moves the world, I've always thought...it is the only thing which allows men and women to stand in a world where gravity always seems to want to pull them down...bring them low...and make them crawl.
Stephen King
I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me. I think we tend to write out our phobias.
Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
God grant me to SERENITY to accept what I cannot change the TENACITY to change what I may and the GOOD LUCK not to f*** up too often
Stephen King
