More quotes by Stephen King
The sort of strenuous reading and writing program I advocate - four to six hours a day, every day - will not seem strenuous if you really enjoy doing these things and have an aptitude for them.
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
When you write you tell yourself a story. When you rewrite you take out everything that is NOT the story.
Stephen King
All you imagined, no matter how wild it might seem, was no more than a disguised version of what you already knew.
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.
Stephen King
That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
Stephen King
Sometimes [...] real love is silent as well as blind.
Stephen King
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
Stephen King
Your pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you. Now eat your pie.
Stephen King
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common.
Stephen King
I don't mean that creative people are somehow finer, or more sensitive, and thus have finer, more sensitive nervous breakdowns - you can save that horseshit for the Sylvia Plath worshipers. It's just that creative people have creative breakdowns.
Stephen King
You can go through your whole life telling yourself that life is logical, life is prosaic, life is sane. Above all sane. And I think it is. I've had a lot of time to think about that. And what I keep coming back to is [her] dying declaration: 'So you understand that when we increase the number of variables, the axioms themselves never change.'
Stephen King
I did spend years as an addict, so I know that world, although I wish I didn't.
Stephen King
It’s hard to let go. Even when what you’re holding onto is full of thorns, it’s hard to let go. Maybe especially then.
Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
He was one of those quite rare adults who communicate with small children fairly well and who love them all impartially--not in a sugary way but in a businesslike fashion that may sometimes entail a hug, in the same way that closing a big business deal may call for a handshake.
Stephen King
City life is no life for a country man for such a man that life is a kind of damnation in itself.
Stephen King
Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up
Stephen King
Adults are the real monsters.
