More quotes by Stephen King
When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, 'Why god? Why me?' and the thundering voice of God answered, 'There's just something about you that pisses me off.'
Stephen King
The bad ideas kind of just drop out of the mix. You forget about them. The good ones stick around.
Stephen King
there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.
Stephen King
Pain is the biggest power of love.
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
You said 'God is cruel' the way a person who's lived his whole life on Tahiti might say 'Snow is cold'. You knew, but you didn't understand. He stepped close to David and put his palms on the boy's cold cheeks. Do you know how cruel your God can be, David. How fantastically cruel?
Stephen King
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
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.
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
We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
Death is when the monsters get you.
Stephen King
THE THREE is really wonderful. A mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.
Stephen King
Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
Just the act of cooking made her feel better, because cooking was life.
Stephen King
We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.
Stephen King
I did spend years as an addict, so I know that world, although I wish I didn't.
Stephen King
Might as well try to drink the ocean with a spoon as argue with a lover.
Stephen King
God always punishes us for what we can't imagine.
Stephen King
Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.
