More quotes by Stephen King
The wind makes you ache is some place that is deeper than your bones. It may be that it touches something old in the human soul, a chord of race memory that says Migrate or die - migrate or die.
Stephen King
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
Stephen King
I got letters from people that have had peculiar psychic experiences, experiences with the dead - sometimes fairly tranquil experiences and sometimes very terrifying experiences. I do believe that a lot of them are sincere. I do believe, also, that some of them may be misguided. But, I think the majority of them have experienced something.
Stephen King
Kids absolutely not reading. I think it's because they're so screen-oriented [TVs, computers, smartphones]. They do read - girls in particular read a lot. They have a tendency to go toward the paranormal, romances, Twilight and stuff like that. And then it starts to taper off because other things take precedence, like the Kardashian sisters.
Stephen King
You know how it's going to end, but instead of spoiling things, that somehow increases your fascination. It's like watching a kid run his electric train faster and faster and waiting for it to derail on one of the curves.
Stephen King
The best show on television is Red Sox baseball. Everything else sucks.
Stephen King
The definition of an asshole is someone who doesn't believe what he is seeing.
Stephen King
The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear? Yes. My Imagination. I thought you were going to say Fear, itself. Then you have a small imagination.
Stephen King
no one dies happy, you can only die well
Stephen King
I don't really map anything out. I just let it happen [while writing]. But once it happens, it's always there. If it's laid, it's played. If I get to page 300 and it's not working, I junk it.
Stephen King
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Stephen King
One of life's great truths is this: when one is about to be struck by a speeding six-hundred pound Coke machine, one need worry about little else.
Stephen King
I'm having a magenta day. Not just red, but magenta!
Stephen King
Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.
Stephen King
As with all other aspects of fiction, the key to writing good dialogue is honesty.
Stephen King
Grammar is...the pole you grab to get your thoughts up on their feet and walking.
Stephen King
When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.
Stephen King
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.
Stephen King
They say that loving eyes can never see, but that's a fool's axiom. Sometimes, they see too much
Stephen King
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
Stephen King
