Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.
Stephen King
What Jack didn't understand was that no matter where he went, the same asshole got off the plane.
Stephen King
There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.

Stephen King
In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman says.
Stephen King
I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
Stephen King
I'm a slow reader, but I usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, most fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft I read because I like to read
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
Adults are the real monsters.
Stephen King
In the years since, I've discovered there's a lot to be said for boredom.
Stephen King
It might be that the biggest division in the world isn't men and women but folks who like cats and folks who like dogs - (L.T.'s Theory of Pets)
Stephen King
It's a writer's job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone.
Stephen King
I've put men to death-men with supposedly immortal souls-that looked dumber than that mouse
