Adults are the real monsters.
Stephen King
...stupidity is one of the two things we see most clearly in retrospect. The other is missed chances.
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
It's a long way back to Eden, Sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.
Stephen King
When your story is ready for rewrite, cut it to the bone. Get rid of every ounce of excess fat. This is going to hurt revising a story down to the bare essentials is always a little like murdering children, but it must be done.
Stephen King
the man in black travels with your soul in his pocket.
Stephen King
The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
Stephen King
The harder you had to work to open a package, the less you ended up caring about what was inside.
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
The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to the movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands... and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.
Stephen King
Roland could not understand why anyone would want cocaine or any other illegal drug, for that matter, in a world where such a powerful one as sugar was so plentiful and cheap.
Stephen King
He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?
Stephen King
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Stephen King
When you write you tell yourself a story. When you rewrite you take out everything that is NOT the story.
Stephen King
Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story
Stephen King
We all have a tendency to want order in our lives. But order presupposes authority, and authority presupposes, sooner or later, that we'll all need hooves. It's going to happen sooner or later, isn't it? You know it is.
Stephen King
Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
Give me just enough information so that I can lie convincingly.
Stephen King
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
Stephen King
It might be that the biggest division in the world isn't men and women but folks who like cats and folks who like dogs - (L.T.'s Theory of Pets)
