More quotes by Stephen King
Death, but not for you, gunslinger. Never for you. You darkle. You tinct. May I be brutally frank? You go on.
Stephen King
You need hedges.Hedges, I said, bemused. Yes, Edgar. He looked surprised and a little disappointed, as if I had failed to understand a very simple concept. Hedges against the night.
Stephen King
Showrunning is a thing where you have to work with tons of different people. You have to schmooze people, you have to talk to network people. I don't want to do any of that.
Stephen King
The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.
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
Every man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God.
Stephen King
The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.
Stephen King
The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear? Yes. My Imagination. I thought you were going to say Fear, itself. Then you have a small imagination.
Stephen King
I love my sons and I love that they are writers - I also love my daughter, who's a minister and an orchard keeper! - but I wouldn't wish the burden of Mid-World and the Dark Tower on them. I enjoy working with them, though, because we fit together.
Stephen King
A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.
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 like to end stories where the readers have a little room to run. They can resolve things as they like in their own mind.
Stephen King
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
The harder you had to work to open a package, the less you ended up caring about what was inside.
Stephen King
A kid of your age---any kid---could get hold of matches if she wanted to, burn up the house or whatever. But not many do. Why would they want to?
Stephen King
His mother called such people ignorant and superstitious, but his father only shook his head slowly and puffed his pipe and said that sometimes old stories had a grain or two of truth in them and it was best not to take chances. It was why, he said, he crossed himself whenever a black cat crossed his path.
Stephen King
Kids absolutely not reading. I think it's because they're so screen-oriented [TVs, computers, smartphones]. They do read - girls in particular read a lot. They have a tendency to go toward the paranormal, romances, Twilight and stuff like that. And then it starts to taper off because other things take precedence, like the Kardashian sisters.
Stephen King
Only God gets things right the first time.
Stephen King
There's a saying - Write what you know. It's bad advice if you take it as an unbreakable rule, but good advice if you use it as a foundation.
Stephen King
Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston.
