More quotes by Stephen King
There will be water if God wills it.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King
We all float down here!
Stephen King
You need hedges.Hedges, I said, bemused. Yes, Edgar. He looked surprised and a little disappointed, as if I had failed to understand a very simple concept. Hedges against the night.
Stephen King
Remember that 'plumber in space' is not such a bad setup for a story.
Stephen King
no one dies happy, you can only die well
Stephen King
I know your mother lives in your head - almost everyone's mother does, I guess - but you can't let her have her way on this one
Stephen King
You said 'God is cruel' the way a person who's lived his whole life on Tahiti might say 'Snow is cold'. You knew, but you didn't understand. He stepped close to David and put his palms on the boy's cold cheeks. Do you know how cruel your God can be, David. How fantastically cruel?
Stephen King
My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
Stephen King
We'll just have to get along. That's what people do, you know? They just get along. And try to help each other.
Stephen King
FEAR stands for face everything and recover – Old AA saying
Stephen King
I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.
Stephen King
Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life.
Stephen King
Rationalism is the idea that we can ever understand anything about the state of being. It's a deathtrip. It always has been. . . . And if rationalism is a deathtrip, then irrationalism might very well be a lifetrip . . . at least until it proves otherwise.
Stephen King
I get inspiration, a lot of times, from very commonplace things that just strike a chord and develop themselves in the subconscious.
Stephen King
He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands.
Stephen King
There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
Stephen King
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
...book-buyers aren't attracted, by and large, by the literary merits of a novel: book-buyers want a good story...something that will first fascinate them, then pull them in and keep them turning the pages.
Stephen King
