Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.
Stephen King
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
Good writing is often about letting go of fear and affectation. Affectation itself, beginning with the need to define some sorts of writing as 'good' and other sorts as 'bad' is fearful behavior.

Stephen King

Stephen King
There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.
Stephen King
A great whispering noise began to rise in the woods on either side of the tracks, as if the forest had just noticed we were there and was commenting on it.
Stephen King
Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions.
Stephen King
My wife has told me since that I was hungover every mornng until about two in the afternoon, and from five until midnight I was drunk out of my mind. So she says there was this period of about three hours when she could talk to me like a rational human being.
Stephen King
His name is Legion. He is the king of nowhere.
Stephen King
The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.
Stephen King
and then woe is you, Pauly. Woe to the max.
Stephen King
Life turns on a dime.
Stephen King
She looks like the type that might freak out. It's something in the eyes, Frannie. It says if you shoot my sacred cows, I'll shoot yours.
Stephen King
