More quotes by Stephen King
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
Just go on dancing with me like this forever and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoe on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.
Stephen King
I do not aim with my hand he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.
Stephen King
Superhero movies and comic books teach a lesson that runs directly counter to the culture-of-violence idea: guns are for bad guys too cowardly to fight like men.
Stephen King
Bad writing is more than a matter of (expletive deleted) syntax and faulty observation bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.
Stephen King
As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along.
Stephen King
Until we see each other again, keep your head together, read some good books, be useful, be happy.
Stephen King
If you're going into a very dark place, then you should take a bright light, and shine it on everything. If you don't want to see, why in God's name would you dare the dark at all?
Stephen King
I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.
Stephen King
It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged.
Stephen King
It didn´t occur to me until later that there´s another truth, very simple: greed in a good cause is still greed.
Stephen King
There’s always a choice. That’s God’s way, always will be. Your will is still free. Do as you will. There’s no set of leg-irons on you. But... this is what God wants of you.
Stephen King
A cat won't curry favor even if it's in their best interests to do so. A cat can't be a hypocrite. If more preachers were like cats, this would be a more religious country.
Stephen King
Bad chances were better than no chances.
Stephen King
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank.
Stephen King
Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts, which explains why so many writers who have run out of gas can keep coasting anyway, propelled on to the bestseller lists by the magic words AUTHOR OF on the covers of their books.
Stephen King
I'd like to take a motorcycle trip across Europe, maybe even across China. Of course I'd also like to broker a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but it's important to put ceilings on one's ambitions.
Stephen King
You know how it's going to end, but instead of spoiling things, that somehow increases your fascination. It's like watching a kid run his electric train faster and faster and waiting for it to derail on one of the curves.
Stephen King
Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.
Stephen King
