More quotes by Stephen King
Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King

Stephen King
It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
Stephen King
If there is love, smallpox scars are as pretty as dimples. - Japanese Proverb
Stephen King
The multiple choices of possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to.
Stephen King
If we don't have each other, we go crazy with loneliness. When we do, we go crazy with togetherness.
Stephen King
C-C-Can you get bones in your buh-buh-brain?' Bill asked. This was turning into the most interesting conversation he'd had in weeks.
Stephen King
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.
Stephen King
...book-buyers aren't attracted, by and large, by the literary merits of a novel: book-buyers want a good story...something that will first fascinate them, then pull them in and keep them turning the pages.
Stephen King
And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.
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
God doesn't bribe, child. He just makes a sign and lets people take it as they will.
Stephen King
