Ninety-five percent of people who walk the earth are simply inert. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are people who do what they say they can do.

More quotes by Stephen King
Make-up covers a multitude of sins.
Stephen King
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
The color white is the absence of memory.
Stephen King
A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.
Stephen King
They were close to the end of the beginning . . .
Stephen King
Has it ever occurred to you that parents are nothing but overgrown kids until their children drag them into adulthood? Usually kicking and screaming?
Stephen King
True love always happens in a flash.
Stephen King
I do not aim with my hand he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.
Stephen King
The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep.
Stephen King
Too often, in novels that are speculative, God is a kind of kryptonite, and that's about all that it is, and it goes back to Dracula, where someone dumps a crucifix in Count Dracula's face, and he pulls away and runs back into his house. That's not religion. That's some kind of juju, like a talisman.
Stephen King
By its very nature, film is supposed to be an accessible medium to everybody.
Stephen King
Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.
Stephen King
One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal.
Stephen King
The ghost story movie that scared me the most was The Changeling with George C. Scott. I think that's sometimes overlooked, but it's a wonderful piece of work.
Stephen King
Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But at the same time, there's a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, well, if this is God's plan, it's very peculiar. And you have to wonder about that guy's personality, the big guy's personality.
Stephen King
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
Stephen King
...belief has a second edge. If there are ten thousand medieval peasants who create vampires by believing them real, there may be one - probably a child - who will imagine the stake necessary to kill it. But a stake is only stupid wood the mind is the mallet which drives it home.
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
There will be water if God wills it.
