More quotes by Stephen King
I've met talespinners before, Jake, and they're all cut more or less from the same cloth. They tell tales because they're afraid of life.
Stephen King
Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.
Stephen King
There were people who lied for gain, people who lied from pain, people who lied simply because the concept of telling the truth was utterly alien to them . . . and then there were people who lied because they were waiting for it to be time to tell the truth.
Stephen King
I work until beer o'clock.
Stephen King
When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'
Stephen King
People can be stunningly unobservant.
Stephen King
I think what you do is, you keep your sensors open. And it's - the more that you do the job, the more you come to understand in a kind of intuitive way that you're always - you know, your radar is on. And the thing is going around and around and around. And it's not picking up any blips.
Stephen King
I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.... I want you to miss appointments, burn dinner, skip your homework. I want you to tell your wife to take that moonlight stroll on the beach at Waikiki with the resort tennis pro while you read a few more chapters.
Stephen King
Tracking account planning is rather like counting a mixed batch of tropical fish. You think you see patterns, but they've all changed by the time you've finished counting.
Stephen King
It's a mystery. That's the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it's mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.
Stephen King
I don't take notes I don't outline, I don't do anything like that. I just flail away at the goddamn thing. I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami. You can't sell it as caviar.
Stephen King
Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.
Stephen King
Trust, a sense of humor, and don't let the sun go down on an argument without trying to make it up. That's all I know about good marriage. I've been married a long time - it seems to be working.
Stephen King
The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.
Stephen King
For me, good description usually consists of a few well-chosen details that will stand for everything else.
Stephen King
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses.
Stephen King
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest reasons, the last link of the chain all too often drips with someone's blood.
Stephen King
No one can be as intellectually slothful as a really smart person
Stephen King
Not every book has to be loaded with symbolism, irony, or musical language, but it seems to me that every book-at least every one worth reading-is about something.
Stephen King
