I believe there is an unseen world all around us.
Stephen King
Image
It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
Image
It was not fair, it was not fair, it was not fair. So cried his child's heart, and then his child's heart died a little. For that is also the way of the world.
Stephen King
Image
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Stephen King

Hearts are tough, Most times they don't break. Most times they are only bend
Stephen King

I'm not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.

I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that it's like a license to steal.

A change is as good as a rest.
Stephen King

Working with him was sort of like trying to defuse a bomb with somebody standing behind you and every now and then clashing a pair of cymbals together. In a word, upsetting.

When all else fails, give up and go to the library.
Stephen King
Image
Passing time adds false memories and modifies real ones.
Stephen King
Image
It hurt, of course, but more often than not the best things do, I've found.
Stephen King

If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway... You must be prepared to do some serious turning inward toward the life of the imagination, and that means, I'm afraid, that Geraldo, Keith Obermann, and Jay Leno must go. Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.
Stephen King
Image
The scariest, most terrifying thing that I fear? Yes. My Imagination. I thought you were going to say Fear, itself. Then you have a small imagination.
Stephen King
Image
I started off thinking Eminem was a flash in the pan, a kind of hip-hop Hanson brother. How wrong I was. Recovery is sometimes funny, sometimes terrible, always painfully honest. The matching of Eminem and Rihanna on Love the Way You Lie is pure genius. Not Afraid is pretty great too.

Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.

His name is Legion. He is the king of nowhere.
Stephen King
Image
Don’t go beyond, no matter how much you feel you need to, Doctor. The barrier was not made to be broken. Remember this: there is more power here than you know. It is old and always restless. Remember.
Stephen King
Image
The King is in his Tower, eating bread and honey. The Breakers in the basement, making all the money.

Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
