More quotes by Stephen King
I've given up thinking - it keeps getting me into trouble.
Stephen King
If you have given up your heart ... you have already lost. A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast.
Stephen King
Somebody asked Somerset Maugham about his place in the pantheon of writers, and he said, I'm in the very front row of the second rate. I'm sort of haunted by that.
Stephen King
The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its fellows rather, it is dispatched quickly and without mercy.
Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
Stephen King
I write in the mornings, in the bright daylight. But I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common.
Stephen King
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.
Stephen King
If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Stephen King
Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear
Stephen King
