More quotes by 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
We all float down here!
Stephen King
Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
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
We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
You say true, I say thankya.
Stephen King
How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?
Stephen King
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.
Stephen King
Legends grow beards, and twenty-three years is plenty of time to grow a long one.
Stephen King
We'll just have to get along. That's what people do, you know? They just get along. And try to help each other.
Stephen King
There is no tyrant as merciless as pain.
Stephen King
As a kid, death seemed boring to me. As an adult, I think that it seems more like a waste of everything. Somebody once said every time a professor dies, a library burns.
Stephen King
God wiped snot out of his nose and that was you.
Stephen King
My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
Stephen King
I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 - Jesus, did you?
Stephen King
I dreamed of you. I dreamed you were wandering in the dark, and so was I. We found each other. We found each other in the dark.
Stephen King
God doesn't bribe, child. He just makes a sign and lets people take it as they will.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
