More quotes by Stephen King
The mystery of the universe is not time but size.
Stephen King

Stephen King
The only [working] ritual is making tea. I use the loose leaves and drink it by the gallon.
Stephen King
Oh, there were all sorts of things to wonder about, but the truth was simple: here stood this door alone on an endless stretch of beach, and it was for only one of two things: opening or leaving closed.
Stephen King
Once, during the drinking phase, Wendy had accused him of desiring his own destruction but not possessing the necessary moral fiber to support a full-blown deathwish. So he manufactured ways in which other people could do it, lopping a piece at a time off himself and their family.
Stephen King
The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.

The only wat to get better at writing is to write. And read.
Stephen King
Few if any seemed to have grasped the Principle of Reality new knowledge leads always to yet more awesome mysteries. Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search.
Stephen King
But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it.
Stephen King
Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it.
Stephen King
It hurt, of course, but more often than not the best things do, I've found.
Stephen King
I believe that anyone using the phrase 'That's so cool' should have to stand in the corner.
Stephen King
Pray for rain while digging a well.
Stephen King
Being sorry for myself is a luxury I can't afford.
Stephen King
True love always happens in a flash.
Stephen King
Ninety-five percent of people who walk the earth are simply inert. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are people who do what they say they can do.
Stephen King
I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint every line in the dirt like a secret message.
Stephen King
Death, but not for you, gunslinger. Never for you. You darkle. You tinct. May I be brutally frank? You go on.
Stephen King
