You could not turn off love- even the rather absent, sometimes taken for granted love- the way you'd turn off a faucet. Love ran from the heart and the heart had it's own imperatives

They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
I think what you do is, you keep your sensors open. And it's - the more that you do the job, the more you come to understand in a kind of intuitive way that you're always - you know, your radar is on. And the thing is going around and around and around. And it's not picking up any blips.
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

Sarcastic people tend to be marshmallows underneath the armor
Stephen King
Advertising tends to be most effective in jogging finally into action those people who are well-enough disposed towards a product, but have not yet got around to buying it.
Stephen King
Talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force.
Stephen King
Things were going very fast now. Too fast to suit him. Fantasy and reality had merged.
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
There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.
Stephen King
The unconscious mind writes poetry if it's left alone.
Stephen King
At the time we’re stuck in it, like hostages locked in a Turkish bath, high school seems the most serious business in the world to just about all of us. It’s not until the second or third class reunion that we start realizing how absurd the whole thing was.
