More quotes by Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
They had discovered one could grow as hungry for light as for food.
Stephen King
Any thoughts of guilt, any feelings of regret, had faded. The desert had baked them out.
Stephen King
There is no tyrant as merciless as pain.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.
Stephen King
When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.
Stephen King
When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'
Stephen King
I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.
Stephen King
Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
Stephen King
I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. Dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. Just remember before you do that Dumbo didn’t need the feather the magic was in him.
Stephen King
Working with him was sort of like trying to defuse a bomb with somebody standing behind you and every now and then clashing a pair of cymbals together. In a word, upsetting.
Stephen King
Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.
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
This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
I was built with a love of the night and the unquiet coffin.
Stephen King
I like to think that good people win. But even good people have other sides. Most people will slow down to get a good look at an accident, even though they won't admit it.
Stephen King
Acknowledge your good fortune by sharing it.
Stephen King
Let's face it. No kid in high school feels as though they fit in.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King
