More quotes by Stephen King

And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Stephen King

Stephen King
you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
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
They had discovered one could grow as hungry for light as for food.
Stephen King
I've given up thinking - it keeps getting me into trouble.
Stephen King
The dream didn't fade as dreams usually do upon waking.
Stephen King
