Image
Science is beginning to encroach on every level of our volition. And to me, that is a frightening social concept. It doesn't have anything to do with the right to have an abortion verses the right to life. It has to do with the ability of science to keep things alive and the ability of science to really control our lives.

A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.

If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.

I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it, Not for the whole world.

I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.

It's a cash and carry world. Sometimes you pay a little. Mostly it's a lot. Sometimes, it's everything you have.
Stephen King
Image
In many cases when a reader puts a story aside because it 'got boring,' the boredom arose because the writer grew enchanted with his powers of description and lost sight of his priority, which is to keep the ball rolling.
Stephen King
Image
It's a writer's job to carve with language, to hew close to the bone.
Stephen King
Image
They were still all beautiful and there was still enchantment and wonder, but she had crossed a line and now the fairy tale was green with corruption and evil.
Stephen King

Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.

But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.
