More quotes by 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
It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.
Stephen King
You could not turn off love- even the rather absent, sometimes taken for granted love- the way you'd turn off a faucet. Love ran from the heart and the heart had it's own imperatives
Stephen King
For me, good description usually consists of a few well-chosen details that will stand for everything else.
Stephen King
I don't take notes I don't outline, I don't do anything like that. I just flail away at the goddamn thing. I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami. You can't sell it as caviar.
Stephen King
True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
Stephen King
Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up
Stephen King
Some things it don't pay to be curious about.
Stephen King

Stephen King
People can be stunningly unobservant.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
Stephen King
To me, the greatest thing in the world is downloading TV shows on iTunes because there are no commercials, and yet if I were a working stiff, I could never afford to do this. But I don't even think about money.
Stephen King
True love always happens in a flash.
Stephen King
It was really amazing the number of hard hits from which a mind could recover.
Stephen King
The simple truth of things is that bad dreams are far better than bad wakings.
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
Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
Stephen King
Marriage is referred to in the bible as “mystical union,” and it really is in the sense that two people who don’t know each other get together. I’m always interested in how much you find out about the other person and how much you don’t find out.
Stephen King
But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
