More quotes by Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King
I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.
Stephen King
Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions.
Stephen King
Hearts are tough, Most times they don't break. Most times they are only bend
Stephen King
A library is a place where you can live a thousand lives. So why are you waiting when you could be living? Visit your library today.
Stephen King
Death is when the monsters get you.
Stephen King
All I ask is that you do as well as you can, and remember that, while to write adverbs is human, to write he said or she said is divine.
Stephen King
Such an ego simply forbade certain lines of thought.
Stephen King
The color white is the absence of memory.
Stephen King
Human Nature Baby, grab it and growl.
