Stephen King
I get inspiration, a lot of times, from very commonplace things that just strike a chord and develop themselves in the subconscious.
Stephen King
Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
Outside, a gusty October breeze was combing leaves from the trees and sending them across her backyard in colorful skitters.

Stephen King
On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?
Stephen King
Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.
Stephen King
There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.
