Stephen King

Stephen King
When creative people do their best work, they're hardly ever in charge, they're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut yelling wheee.
Stephen King
The quickest way to learn about a new place is to know what it dreams of.
Stephen King
Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.
Stephen King
If you don’t have the time to do something right, where are you going to find the time to fix it?
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
Zombies are the new vampire.
Stephen King
Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.
Stephen King
When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
Stephen King
Beating heroin is child's play compared to beating your childhood.
