If you're going into a very dark place, then you should take a bright light, and shine it on everything. If you don't want to see, why in God's name would you dare the dark at all?

More quotes by Stephen King
Anywhere in New York, anywhere in the country, somewhere there's going to be a Coke sign. People identify with Coke. You can write a novel about New York and people from the country will read it if they feel that you've made them familiar with New York.
Stephen King
You know, Glen Bateman said, looking out toward Grand Junction in the early light of morning, I've heard the saying 'That sucks' for years without really being sure of what it meant. Now I think I know.
Stephen King
Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.
Stephen King
And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.
Stephen King
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.
Stephen King
Ka works and the world moves on.
Stephen King
The redness was going out of the light now, the remains of the day were a fading pink, the color of wild roses.
Stephen King
I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me. I think we tend to write out our phobias.
Stephen King
The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do.
Stephen King
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
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
Did it [cocaine] for about eight years. Not a terribly long time to be an addict I guess, but it is longer than World War II.
Stephen King
The King is in his Tower, eating bread and honey. The Breakers in the basement, making all the money.
Stephen King
I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
Stephen King
Things come in three major degrees in the human experience, I think. There's good, bad, and terrible. And as you go down into progressive darkness towards terrible, it gets harder and harder to make subdivisions.
Stephen King
It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.
Stephen King
Art is the concrete artifact of faith and expectation, the realization of a world that would otherwise be little more than a veil of pointless consciousness stretched over a gulf of mystery.
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
And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.
Stephen King
