More quotes by Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
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
I did a couple of writing seminars in Canada with high school kids. These were the bright kids they all have computers, but they can't spell. Because spell-check won't [help] you if you don't know through from threw. I told them, If you can read in the 21st century, you own the world. Because you learn to write from reading.
Stephen King
Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.
Stephen King
There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.
Stephen King
Adults are the real monsters.
Stephen King
What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly?
Stephen King
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stephen King
I want to write about spiders. To me, this is the one theme that cuts right across and scares just about everybody. Spiders, to me, are just about the most horrible, awful things that I can think about. I think everyone is afraid of spiders.
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
Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
Stephen King
The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to the movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands... and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.
Stephen King
The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do.
Stephen King
I think what you do is, you keep your sensors open. And it's - the more that you do the job, the more you come to understand in a kind of intuitive way that you're always - you know, your radar is on. And the thing is going around and around and around. And it's not picking up any blips.
Stephen King
I believe there is an unseen world all around us.
Stephen King
If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
The mystery of the universe is not time but size.
Stephen King
First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.-Roland Deschain, of Gilead
Stephen King
Gordie: Do you think I'm weird? Chris: Definitely. Gordie: No man, seriously. Am I weird? Chris: Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird
Stephen King
I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.
