More quotes by Stephen King
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.
Stephen King
Crying was like pissing everything out on the ground.
Stephen King
A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
Stephen King
Making people believe the unbelievable is no trick it's work... Belief and reader absorption come in the details: An overturned tricycle in the gutter of an abandoned neighborhood can stand for everything.
Stephen King
Sometimes a man and a woman reach a crossroads and linger there, reluctant to take either way, knowing the wrong choice will mean the end... and knowing there’s so much worth saving.
Stephen King
The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.
Stephen King
By its very nature, film is supposed to be an accessible medium to everybody.
Stephen King
If I kept saying it if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.
Stephen King
It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged.
Stephen King
That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
Stephen King
Close your eyes and click your heals three times...because there's no place like Dome.
Stephen King
Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.
Stephen King
When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.
Stephen King
The sun was a molten coin burning a circle in the low-hanging overcast, surrounded by a fairy-ring of moisture.
Stephen King
Some tears have to be cried no matter what the hour- until they are, they simply rave and burn inside.
Stephen King
Bloom never pissed me off because there are critics out there, and he's one of them, who take their ignorance about popular culture as a badge of intellectual prowess.
Stephen King
And she sees that the moonlight is losing its orange glow. It has become buttery, and will soon turn to silver.
Stephen King
Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It’s not just a question of how-to, you see it’s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.
Stephen King
Good writing is often about letting go of fear and affectation. Affectation itself, beginning with the need to define some sorts of writing as 'good' and other sorts as 'bad' is fearful behavior.
Stephen King
You cannot condemn a man for what may only be a figment of your own imagination.
Stephen King
