More quotes by Stephen King
Stories are artifacts, not really made things which we create and can take credit for, but pre-existing objects which we dig up.
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
Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned.
Stephen King
and the rain went rollin down the windowpanes, and the shadows wiggled n' squiggled on her check and forehead like black veins.
Stephen King
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Stephen King
My father had taught me - mostly by example - that if a man wanted to be in charge of his life, he had to be in charge of his problems.
Stephen King
Any game looks straight if everyone is being cheated at once.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.
Stephen King
I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that it's like a license to steal.
Stephen King
Pride, that invisible bone that keeps the neck stiff.
Stephen King
It's Merry Christmas at our house. Whatever it is at yours, have a happy one. And be good to somebody.
Stephen King
When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
Stephen King
She ran out of her marriage the way a woman can run out of a pair of sandals when she decides to let go and really dash.
Stephen King
I want to engage the reader. I'm an emotional writer, in the sense that I would be happy if you re-read a book for the intellectual or the mental part of it, but, the first time, I just like to reach out and grab you, pull you in.
Stephen King
Some things it don't pay to be curious about.
Stephen King
And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.
Stephen King
No, it's not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.
Stephen King
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.
