We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
Stephen King
I've put men to death-men with supposedly immortal souls-that looked dumber than that mouse
Stephen King
Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.
Stephen King
His name is Legion. He is the king of nowhere.
Stephen King
As for the end of the universe…I say let it come as it will, in ice, fire, or darkness. What did the universe ever do for me that I should mind its welfare?
Stephen King
High school isn't a very important place. When you're going you think it's a big deal, but when it's over nobody really thinks it was great unless they're beered up.
Stephen King
The worst advice? 'Don't listen to the critics.' I think that you really ought to listen to the critics, because sometimes they're telling you something is broken that you can fix.
Stephen King
I'm seen as somebody who writes for adults because I'm an older man myself. Some of them find me, and a lot of them don't.
Stephen King
Art should be a place of hope.
Stephen King
All I ask is that you do as well as you can, and remember that, while to write adverbs is human, to write he said or she said is divine.
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 am religious in the sense that I believe in God and I believe that there is an abiding logical spirit that controls what goes on to a certain extent.
Stephen King
People can be stunningly unobservant.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.
Stephen King
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
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
Read a lot, write a lot is the great commandment.
Stephen King
Jake went in, aware that he had, for the first time in three weeks, opened a door without hoping madly to find another world on the other side. A bell jingled overhead. The mild, spicy smell of old books hit him, and the smell was somehow like coming home.
Stephen King
If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
