More quotes by Stephen King
At nineteen, it seems to me, one has a right to be arrogant time has usually not begun its stealthy and rotten subtractions. It takes away your hair and your jump-shot, according to a popular country song, but in truth it takes away a lot more than that.
Stephen King
I always felt that organized religion was just basically a theological insurance scam where they're saying if you spend time with us, guess what, you're going to live forever, you're going to go to some other plain where you're going to be so happy, you'll just be happy all the time, which is also kind of a scary idea to me.
Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
A kid of your age---any kid---could get hold of matches if she wanted to, burn up the house or whatever. But not many do. Why would they want to?
Stephen King
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Stephen King
I have no opinion. No, none at all. Opinion is politics, and politics is an evil which has caused many a fellow to be hung while he's still young and pretty.
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
The death of the music business was insane, but audio recordings have been around now for maybe 120 years. Books have been around for, what, nine centuries? So they're more entrenched than music.
Stephen King
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Stephen King
I am in trouble here. This woman is not right.
Stephen King
Once, during the drinking phase, Wendy had accused him of desiring his own destruction but not possessing the necessary moral fiber to support a full-blown deathwish. So he manufactured ways in which other people could do it, lopping a piece at a time off himself and their family.
Stephen King
When the dawn was still long hours away, bad thoughts took on flesh and began to walk. In the middle of the night thoughts became zombies.
Stephen King
As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along.
Stephen King
I'm seen as somebody who writes for adults because I'm an older man myself. Some of them find me, and a lot of them don't.
Stephen King
Writing is like being in a dream state or under self-directed hypnosis. It induces a state of recall that - while not perfect - is pretty spooky.
Stephen King
I think that friendship always makes us feel such sweet gratitude, because the world almost always seems like a very hard desert, and the flowers that grow there seem to grow against such high odds.
Stephen King
And when there are enough outsiders together in one place, a mystic osmosis takes place and you're inside.
Stephen King
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
To write is human, to edit is divine.
Stephen King
To me, the greatest thing in the world is downloading TV shows on iTunes because there are no commercials, and yet if I were a working stiff, I could never afford to do this. But I don't even think about money.
