You'll consider what you did wrong & bookend your reflections with hunger - no supper, no breakfast.
Stephen King
Image
Give a man or woman back his self-respect, and in most cases-not all, but most-you also give back that person's ability to think with at least some clarity.

Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It’s not just a question of how-to, you see it’s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.

Image
When love leaves the world, all hearts are still. Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask.
Stephen King
Image

Stephen King
Image
Belief in the supernatural or belief in wild talents like precognition and telepathy and telekinesis and things like that, it seems to me that belief in those things is just very, very freeing.
Stephen King

In the years since, I've discovered there's a lot to be said for boredom.
Stephen King
Image
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.

and then woe is you, Pauly. Woe to the max.

Image
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen
Stephen King

I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that it's like a license to steal.

Every liberal in the country must watch Fox News for one year, and every conservative in the country must watch MSNBC for one year. (Middle-of-the-roaders could stick with CSI)

Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.

That's the curse of the reading class. We can be seduced by a good story even at the most inopportune moments.
