Ninety-five percent of people who walk the earth are simply inert. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are people who do what they say they can do.
Stephen King
There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.
Stephen King
There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers good stories seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky.
Stephen King
People who try hard to do the right thing always seem mad.
Stephen King
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
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
Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story
Stephen King

Stephen King
A person can't change all at once.
Stephen King
I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.... I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework. I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight stroll on the beach at Waikiki with the resort tennis pro while you read a few more chapters.
Stephen King
I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.
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
A coward judges all he sees by what he is.
Stephen King
You cannot condemn a man for what may only be a figment of your own imagination.
Stephen King
I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.
Stephen King
He's a very nice man and all that, easy to get along with, fun, he never makes me cry. But is that love? I mean, is that all there is to it? Even when you learned to ride your two-wheeler, you had to fall off a few times and scrape both knees. Call it a rite of passage. And that was just a little thing.
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
I know life is hard, I think everyone knows that in their hearts, but why dos it have to be cruel, as well? Why does it have to bite?
Stephen King
