More quotes by Stephen King
As a kid, death seemed boring to me. As an adult, I think that it seems more like a waste of everything. Somebody once said every time a professor dies, a library burns.
Stephen King
Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Stephen King
What is writing? Writing is telepathy.
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
Only God gets things right the first time.
Stephen King
She felt like someone who drowns remembering what it was like to still be on the boat, so calm and at ease, so carelessly safe
Stephen King
Kill you all! The clown was laughing and screaming. Try to stop me and I'll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can't stop me!
Stephen King
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Stephen King
Might as well try to drink the ocean with a spoon as argue with a lover.
Stephen King
There's a saying - Write what you know. It's bad advice if you take it as an unbreakable rule, but good advice if you use it as a foundation.
Stephen King
Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward life with all the courage you can find and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand.
Stephen King
Bad writing is more than a matter of (expletive deleted) syntax and faulty observation bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.
Stephen King
there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Stephen King
So where do the ideas-the salable ideas-come from? They come from my nightmares. Not the night-time variety, as a rule, but the ones that hide just beyond the doorway that separates the conscious from the unconscious.
Stephen King
Grammar is...the pole you grab to get your thoughts up on their feet and walking.
Stephen King
Few if any seemed to have grasped the Principle of Reality new knowledge leads always to yet more awesome mysteries. Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search.
Stephen King
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
Stephen King
The road and the tale have both been long, would you not say so? The trip has been long and the cost has been high... but no great thing was ever attained easily. A long tale, like a tall Tower, must be built a stone at a time.
Stephen King
