The terror, which would not end for another 28 years-if it ever did end-began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
The water was glassy and calm, still candy-colored in the afterglow of sunset.

Who gets to be best-liked in any community? Who is the most trusted? Why, the man who does the dirty job, of course, and does it with a smile. The man who does the job you couldn't bring yourself to do.

When facts speak, the wise man listens.
Stephen King
Image
She is a cat with a burning tail, an ant under a microscope, a fly about to lose its wings to the curious plucking fingers of a third-grader on a rainy day, a game for bored children with no bodies and the whole universe at their feet.
Stephen King
Image
I write in the mornings, in the bright daylight. But I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.
Stephen King
Image
Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.
Stephen King
Image
It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged.
Stephen King
Image
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
Stephen King
Image
His mother called such people ignorant and superstitious, but his father only shook his head slowly and puffed his pipe and said that sometimes old stories had a grain or two of truth in them and it was best not to take chances. It was why, he said, he crossed himself whenever a black cat crossed his path.

Until that afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't known dogs could scream.
Stephen King
Image
But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.

I was built with a love of the night and the unquiet coffin.
