The Overlook was still not done with him. Written on the mirror, not in lipstick but in blood, was a single word: REDRUM

More quotes by Stephen King
Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.
Stephen King
Men! She could not understand why so many women feared them. Hadn't the gods made them with the most vurnerable part of their guts hanging right out of their bodies, like a misplaced bit of bowel? Kick them there and they curled up like snails. Caress them there and their brains melted.
Stephen King
Anywhere in New York, anywhere in the country, somewhere there's going to be a Coke sign. People identify with Coke. You can write a novel about New York and people from the country will read it if they feel that you've made them familiar with New York.
Stephen King
I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.
Stephen King
Say what you mean. Say what you see. Make a photograph, if you can, for the reader.
Stephen King
He could feel the pores of his body open like a million mouths and slurp the water in like a sponge.
Stephen King
Sometimes a man and a woman reach a crossroads and linger there, reluctant to take either way, knowing the wrong choice will mean the end... and knowing there’s so much worth saving.
Stephen King
There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King
Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King
All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.
Stephen King
It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
When all else fails, give up and go to the library.
Stephen King
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.
Stephen King
She did not know if her gift came from the lord of light or of darkness, and now, finally finding that she didn't care which, she wad overcome with almost indescribable relief, as if a huge weight, long carried, had slipped from her shoulders.
Stephen King
She ran out of her marriage the way a woman can run out of a pair of sandals when she decides to let go and really dash.
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
Nora Roberts is cool.
Stephen King
But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it.
Stephen King
