Stephen King
If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented.
Stephen King
and then woe is you, Pauly. Woe to the max.
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
The only religions I don't like are the ones that insist their God is bigger than your God.
Stephen King
They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
The truth is in the details.
Stephen King
you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.
Stephen King
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Stephen King
When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank.
