More quotes by Stephen King
I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.
Stephen King
He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?
Stephen King
What happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality breaks and the glass begins to fly?
Stephen King

Stephen King
It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutter ball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me. I think we tend to write out our phobias.
Stephen King
Doubters will doubt to the end.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
Sarcastic people tend to be marshmallows underneath the armor
Stephen King
Time is a face on the water.
Stephen King
The terror, which would not end for another 28 years-if it ever did end-began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
Stephen King
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Stephen King
Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.
Stephen King
The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do.
Stephen King
What I'm saying is that I'm trying to find rational reasons to explain irrational feelings, and that's neveer a good sign.
Stephen King
I am, when you stop to think of it, a member of a fairly select group: the final handful of American novelists who learned to read and write before they learned to eat a daily helping of video bullshit.
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
