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.

More quotes by Stephen King
Who gets to be best-liked in any community? Who is the most trusted? Why, the man who does the dirty job, of course, and does it with a smile. The man who does the job you couldn't bring yourself to do.
Stephen King
The kids accepted my drinking as a part of life. Not a particularly pernicious part. I didn't beat up on them. Basically I don't think I was so different from a lot of dads who have three or four martinis when they get in from work, wine with dinner and so on.
Stephen King
The idea for a novel is like a little tiny fire in a dark night. And, one by one, the characters come and stand around it and warm their hands.
Stephen King
Might as well try to drink the ocean with a spoon as argue with a lover.
Stephen King
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.
Stephen King
And will I tell you that these three lived happily ever after? I will not, for no one ever does. But there was happiness. And they did live.
Stephen King
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
Stephen King
You say true, I say thankya.
Stephen King
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Stephen King
Mornings belong to whatever is new the current composition. Afternoons are for naps and letters.
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
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
You cannot friend a hawk, they said, unless you are a hawk yourself, alone and only a sojourner in the land, without friends or the need of them.
Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
Stephen King
no one dies happy, you can only die well
Stephen King
And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God's language - it's better, it's finer, it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
Stephen King
It is the tale, not he who tells it.
Stephen King
I like to think that good people win. But even good people have other sides. Most people will slow down to get a good look at an accident, even though they won't admit it.
Stephen King
I work until beer o'clock.
Stephen King
