Stephen King

Stephen King
Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.
Stephen King
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Stephen King
We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.
Stephen King
Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?

Stephen King
It's been quite a while since I was really afraid that there was a boogeyman in my closet, although I am still very careful to keep my feet under the covers when I go to sleep, because the covers are magic, and if your feet are covered, it's like boogeyman Kryptonite.
Stephen King
Bad chances were better than no chances.
Stephen King
The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.
Stephen King
He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever.
Stephen King
You could not turn off love- even the rather absent, sometimes taken for granted love- the way you'd turn off a faucet. Love ran from the heart and the heart had it's own imperatives
Stephen King
He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands.
Stephen King
There is the Watchmaker Theory that God wound up the universe and let it tick. That may be. or it may be that he takes a hand in things from time to time. But whatever it is, I am sure that there is something out there.
Stephen King
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
The King is in his Tower, eating bread and honey. The Breakers in the basement, making all the money.
