More quotes by Stephen King
I've spread my legs in the backseat in a creative sense quite a few times.
Stephen King
I thought it was great fun to scare people. I also knew it was socially acceptable because there were a lot of horror movies out there.
Stephen King
Love isn't soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.
Stephen King
The writer's original perception of a character or characters may be as erroneous as the reader's.
Stephen King
In polite society, we call our obsessions hobbies.
Stephen King
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
Stephen King
You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens.
Stephen King
Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.
Stephen King
If you were seeing a lot of horseshit, there had to be a pony in the vicinity.
Stephen King
Once again there was the desert, and that only.
Stephen King
As a rule, I don't worry about genre. I just want to tell a good story, with characters that interest me and my readers.
Stephen King
Successful rebellions always begin in secret.
Stephen King
you will not falter, because you will have the Everlasting Arm of the Lord God of Hosts to lean on. Yes. With God’s help you will stand.
Stephen King
The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.
Stephen King
There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.
Stephen King
God doesn't bribe, child. He just makes a sign and lets people take it as they will.
Stephen King
Human Nature Baby, grab it and growl.
Stephen King
No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don't.
Stephen King
A change is as good as a rest.
Stephen King
The sort of strenuous reading and writing program I advocate - four to six hours a day, every day - will not seem strenuous if you really enjoy doing these things and have an aptitude for them.
Stephen King
