More quotes by Stephen King
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.
Stephen King

Stephen King
There is no tyrant as merciless as pain.
Stephen King
Art is the concrete artifact of faith and expectation, the realization of a world that would otherwise be little more than a veil of pointless consciousness stretched over a gulf of mystery.
Stephen King
The dream might have been more than a dream. It was as if a door in the wall of reality had come ajar... and now all sorts of unwelcome things were flying through.
Stephen King
By and large... the good's an illusion, little fables folks tell themselves so they can get through their days without screaming too much.
Stephen King
And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.
Stephen King
Death is when the monsters get you.
Stephen King
To the devil with false modesty.
Stephen King

Stephen King
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common.
Stephen King
Outside, a gusty October breeze was combing leaves from the trees and sending them across her backyard in colorful skitters.
Stephen King
It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little (or not at all in some cases) should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written.
Stephen King
If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you.
Stephen King
A broken spoon may be a fork in disguise.
Stephen King
Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.
Stephen King
But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.
Stephen King
Anywhere in New York, anywhere in the country, somewhere there's going to be a Coke sign. People identify with Coke. You can write a novel about New York and people from the country will read it if they feel that you've made them familiar with New York.
Stephen King
The simple truth of things is that bad dreams are far better than bad wakings.
Stephen King
