Fear is the emotion that makes us blind.

Whatever came to mind, whatever came to hand, I would read.
Stephen King

Why does everyone think that I am a cruel and insensitive man? I mean, come on, I have kids... on my desk in little jars!

You said 'God is cruel' the way a person who's lived his whole life on Tahiti might say 'Snow is cold'. You knew, but you didn't understand. He stepped close to David and put his palms on the boy's cold cheeks. Do you know how cruel your God can be, David. How fantastically cruel?

Paul Edgecomb: What do you want me to do John? I'll do it. You want me to let you walk out of here and see how far you get? John Coffey: Now why would you want to do a foolish thing like that? Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?

Somebody asked Somerset Maugham about his place in the pantheon of writers, and he said, I'm in the very front row of the second rate. I'm sort of haunted by that.
Stephen King
Image
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
Image
My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
Stephen King
Image
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do.
Stephen King
Image
She did not know if her gift came from the lord of light or of darkness, and now, finally finding that she didn't care which, she wad overcome with almost indescribable relief, as if a huge weight, long carried, had slipped from her shoulders.
Stephen King

I believe there is an unseen world all around us.

Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.

Definition of a wanderer: a guy who's always looking beyond.

It is, after all, the dab of grit that seeps into an oyster's shell that makes the pearl, not pearl-making seminars with other oysters.

Sometimes the embers are better than the campfire.

It's been quite a while since I was really afraid that there was a boogeyman in my closet, although I am still very careful to keep my feet under the covers when I go to sleep, because the covers are magic, and if your feet are covered, it's like boogeyman Kryptonite.
