More quotes by Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
One of life's great truths is this: when one is about to be struck by a speeding six-hundred pound Coke machine, one need worry about little else.
Stephen King
The best show on television is Red Sox baseball. Everything else sucks.
Stephen King
Pray for rain while digging a well.
Stephen King
I think it's relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn't cost them anything. It doesn't keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling.
Stephen King
It hurts to imagine stuff. It can give you a headache. Probably doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts mentally. But the more that you can do it, the more you're able to get out of it. Everybody has that capacity, but I don't think everyone develops it.
Stephen King
God grant me to SERENITY to accept what I cannot change the TENACITY to change what I may and the GOOD LUCK not to f*** up too often
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
Stephen King
Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned.
Stephen King
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.
Stephen King
and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.
Stephen King
I have the world's best job. I get paid to hang out in my imagination all day.
Stephen King
I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There's some pretty good homegrown dope. I'm sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses.
Stephen King
In bowling and in life, if a person made the spares, the strikes would take care of themselves.
Stephen King
Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life.
Stephen King
You know, Glen Bateman said, looking out toward Grand Junction in the early light of morning, I've heard the saying 'That sucks' for years without really being sure of what it meant. Now I think I know.
Stephen King
A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.
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.
