Stephen King
You don't always talk with your mouth. Sometimes what you say with your mouth hardly matters at all. You have to signify
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
You cannot friend a hawk, they said, unless you are a hawk yourself, alone and only a sojourner in the land, without friends or the need of them.
Stephen King
Little kids' minds are very, very strong. They bend. There's a lot of tensile strength and they don't break. We start our kids off on things like Hansel and Gretel, which features child abandonment, kidnapping, attempted murder, forcible detention, cannibalism, and finally murder by cremation.
