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.

If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
Image
As it happened, all three of us turned out to be real writers--a coincidence almost too large to be termed mere coincidence in a society where literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of college students aspire to the writer's trade and where bare hundreds actually break through.

The unconscious mind writes poetry if it's left alone.
Stephen King
Image
Too often, in novels that are speculative, God is a kind of kryptonite, and that's about all that it is, and it goes back to Dracula, where someone dumps a crucifix in Count Dracula's face, and he pulls away and runs back into his house. That's not religion. That's some kind of juju, like a talisman.

Some things it don't pay to be curious about.

You're dead, George. You just don't have the sense to lie down.
Stephen King
Image
I believe that the combination of pencil and memory creates a kind of practical magic, and magic is dangerous.
Stephen King

When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed.
Stephen King
Image
If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.

I'd like to take a motorcycle trip across Europe, maybe even across China. Of course I'd also like to broker a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but it's important to put ceilings on one's ambitions.

Want to know the best thing about teaching? Seeing that moment when a kid discovers his or her gift. There's no feeling on earth like it.
Stephen King
Image
In the end, the wind takes everything, doesn't it? And why not? Why other? If the sweetness of our lives did not depart, there would be no sweetness at all.
Stephen King
Image
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
Image
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
Stephen King
Image
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
Stephen King
Image
Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.

A product can be quickly outdated, but a successful brand is timeless.
Stephen King

My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
