He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands.

More quotes by Stephen King
The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.
Stephen King
Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.
Stephen King
There’s always a choice. That’s God’s way, always will be. Your will is still free. Do as you will. There’s no set of leg-irons on you. But... this is what God wants of you.
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
It hurt, of course, but more often than not the best things do, I've found.
Stephen King
I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.
Stephen King
Writers write. That's all it is. It is as simple, and as complex, as that.
Stephen King
I got letters from people that have had peculiar psychic experiences, experiences with the dead - sometimes fairly tranquil experiences and sometimes very terrifying experiences. I do believe that a lot of them are sincere. I do believe, also, that some of them may be misguided. But, I think the majority of them have experienced something.
Stephen King
So where do the ideas-the salable ideas-come from? They come from my nightmares. Not the night-time variety, as a rule, but the ones that hide just beyond the doorway that separates the conscious from the unconscious.
Stephen King
The bad ideas kind of just drop out of the mix. You forget about them. The good ones stick around.
Stephen King
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
It might be that the biggest division in the world isn't men and women but folks who like cats and folks who like dogs - (L.T.'s Theory of Pets)
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
I believe in evil, but all my life I've gone back and forth about whether or not there's an outside evil, whether or not there's a force in the world that really wants to destroy us, from the inside out, individually and collectively.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever.
Stephen King
I have the world's best job. I get paid to hang out in my imagination all day.
Stephen King
When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'
Stephen King
And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.
Stephen King
The quickest way to learn about a new place is to know what it dreams of.
