More quotes by Stephen King
But this wealth of information produced little or no insight.
Stephen King
Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutter ball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
Ka works and the world moves on.
Stephen King
The scholar's greatest weakness: calling procrastination research.
Stephen King
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
Stephen King
Beating heroin is child's play compared to beating your childhood.
Stephen King
There are all sorts of dream interpretations, Freud's being the most notorious, but I have always believed they served a simple eliminatory function, and not much more - that dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then.
Stephen King
Not every book has to be loaded with symbolism, irony, or musical language, but it seems to me that every book-at least every one worth reading-is about something.
Stephen King
I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.
Stephen King
Oh, there were all sorts of things to wonder about, but the truth was simple: here stood this door alone on an endless stretch of beach, and it was for only one of two things: opening or leaving closed.
Stephen King
If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.
Stephen King
And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that.
Stephen King
In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.
Stephen King
Outside, a gusty October breeze was combing leaves from the trees and sending them across her backyard in colorful skitters.
Stephen King
Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.
Stephen King
I think everybody has experiences from time to time they can't explain. They are peculiarities. Usually we just dismiss them because they are uncomfortable to think about.
Stephen King
Parenting is the greatest of hum-a-few-bars-and-I'll-fake-it skills.
Stephen King
Of course they had more chains on him than Scrooge saw on Marley's ghost, but he could have kicked up dickens if he'd wanted. That's a pun, son.
Stephen King
