More quotes by Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
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
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
The Overlook was still not done with him. Written on the mirror, not in lipstick but in blood, was a single word: REDRUM
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
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Stephen King
Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.
Stephen King
The truth is in the details.
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
He lay back, put his arm over his eyes, and tried to hold onto the anger, because the anger made him feel brave. A brave man could think. A coward couldn't.
Stephen King
Dreams age faster than dreamers.
Stephen King
Rage-the biggest, truest rage of her adult life-had invaded her like a fever, but it wasn't like any fever she had known previously. It circulated like weird serum, cold on the right side of her body, then hot on the left, where her heart was. It seemed to come nowhere near her head, which remained clear.
Stephen King
The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep.
Stephen King
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Stephen King
For me, good description usually consists of a few well-chosen details that will stand for everything else.
Stephen King
I can't see the future, but it's grim. The depletion of resources - we're living in this dine-and-dash economy.
Stephen King
A man with a good wife is the luckiest of God's creatures.
Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.
Stephen King
