But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King

Stephen King
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Stephen King
A change is as good as a rest.

I did a couple of writing seminars in Canada with high school kids. These were the bright kids they all have computers, but they can't spell. Because spell-check won't [help] you if you don't know through from threw. I told them, If you can read in the 21st century, you own the world. Because you learn to write from reading.

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
And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.
Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
Stephen King
When you write, you want to get rid of the world, don’t you? Of course you do. When you’re writing, you’re creating your own worlds.
Stephen King
So okay - there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Stephen King
All I ask is that you do as well as you can, and remember that, while to write adverbs is human, to write he said or she said is divine.
Stephen King
We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.
Stephen King
THE THREE is really wonderful. A mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.
Stephen King
