More quotes by Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
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
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.
Stephen King
God and the afterlife and all that is certainly a subject that's interested me, and I think it interests me more the older that I get.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real. I know that, and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.
Stephen King
I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.
Stephen King
As always at these times when he felt really in need of God the front of his mind was serene, but the deeper part, where faith did constant battle with doubt, was terrified that there would be no answer.
Stephen King
The Overlook was still not done with him. Written on the mirror, not in lipstick but in blood, was a single word: REDRUM
Stephen King
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
Stephen King
There is no such thing as a happy ending. I never met a single one to equal Once upon a time.
Stephen King
and then woe is you, Pauly. Woe to the max.
Stephen King
When I gave up dope and alcohol, my immediate feeling was 'I've saved my life, but there'll be a price because I'll have nothing that buzzes me any more'. But I enjoyed my kids. My wife loved me and I loved her. And eventually the writing came back and I discovered that the writing was enough. Stupid thing is that probably it always had been.
Stephen King
It was really amazing the number of hard hits from which a mind could recover.
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
Stephen King
Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn't grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story... To make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.
Stephen King
And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.
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
You know what talent is? The curse of expectation. As a kid you have to deal with that, beat it somehow. If you can write, you think God put you on earth to blow Shakespeare away. Or if you can paint, maybe you think--I did--that God put you on earth to blow your father away.
