At nineteen, it seems to me, one has a right to be arrogant time has usually not begun its stealthy and rotten subtractions. It takes away your hair and your jump-shot, according to a popular country song, but in truth it takes away a lot more than that.

All you need to do is hold on tight...and believe.
Stephen King
Image
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King

I like to end stories where the readers have a little room to run. They can resolve things as they like in their own mind.

If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.

If you can't laugh when things go bad--laugh and put on a little carnival--then you're either dead or wishing you were.
Stephen King
Image
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.

The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.
Stephen King
Image
Trust, a sense of humor, and don't let the sun go down on an argument without trying to make it up. That's all I know about good marriage. I've been married a long time - it seems to be working.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
Writing is like being in a dream state or under self-directed hypnosis. It induces a state of recall that - while not perfect - is pretty spooky.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
Mornings belong to whatever is new the current composition. Afternoons are for naps and letters.

I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.... I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework. I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight stroll on the beach at Waikiki with the resort tennis pro while you read a few more chapters.
