More quotes by Stephen King
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
Stephen King
C-C-Can you get bones in your buh-buh-brain?' Bill asked. This was turning into the most interesting conversation he'd had in weeks.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
The greatest mystery the universe offers is not life but Size.
Stephen King
Every man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God.
Stephen King
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen
Stephen King
Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink. Drink and be filled up.
Stephen King
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
As with all other aspects of fiction, the key to writing good dialogue is honesty.
Stephen King
The bad ideas kind of just drop out of the mix. You forget about them. The good ones stick around.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
You needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from the beginning to the end and ka is always served.
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've killed enough of the world's trees.
Stephen King
Life turns on a dime. Sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?
Stephen King
If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
It was really amazing the number of hard hits from which a mind could recover.
Stephen King
Death, but not for you, gunslinger. Never for you. You darkle. You tinct. May I be brutally frank? You go on.
Stephen King
I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.
Stephen King
Showrunning is a thing where you have to work with tons of different people. You have to schmooze people, you have to talk to network people. I don't want to do any of that.
Stephen King
