More quotes by Stephen King
That's the day's business. Thinking. Thinking and isolation, because it doesn't matter if you pass the time of day with someone or not in the end, you're alone. He seemed to have put in as many miles in his brain as he had with his feet. The thoughts kept coming and there was no way to deny them.
Stephen King
To me, the greatest thing in the world is downloading TV shows on iTunes because there are no commercials, and yet if I were a working stiff, I could never afford to do this. But I don't even think about money.
Stephen King
...writing fiction...is no job for intellectual cowards.
Stephen King
I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.
Stephen King
We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
He did it (listened) as the world's most charming and magnetic people do, always asking the right question at the right time, never fidgeting or taking his eyes from the speaker's face, making the other guy feel like the most knowledgeable, brilliant, and intellectually savvy person on the planet.
Stephen King

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
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
Working with him was sort of like trying to defuse a bomb with somebody standing behind you and every now and then clashing a pair of cymbals together. In a word, upsetting.
Stephen King
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
Stephen King
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
Stephen King
I'm most afraid of losing my mind. You lose your identity, your sense of who you are, where you are.
Stephen King
JK Rowling created seven Horcruxes. She put a part of her soul in every book and now her books will live forever
Stephen King
Somebody said the prospect of eminent death has a wonderful clarifying effect on the mind. And I don't know if that's true, but I do think it probably causes some changes, some evolution in the way a person works. But on a day-by-day basis, I just still enjoy doing what I'm doing.
Stephen King
It's Merry Christmas at our house. Whatever it is at yours, have a happy one. And be good to somebody.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
Stephen King
Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story
Stephen King
Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned.
