More quotes by Stephen King
It's been quite a while since I was really afraid that there was a boogeyman in my closet, although I am still very careful to keep my feet under the covers when I go to sleep, because the covers are magic, and if your feet are covered, it's like boogeyman Kryptonite.
Stephen King
Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.
Stephen King
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
The Overlook was still not done with him. Written on the mirror, not in lipstick but in blood, was a single word: REDRUM
Stephen King
I've given up thinking - it keeps getting me into trouble.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
I want to engage the reader. I'm an emotional writer, in the sense that I would be happy if you re-read a book for the intellectual or the mental part of it, but, the first time, I just like to reach out and grab you, pull you in.
Stephen King
It's funny how close the past is, sometimes. Sometimes it seems as if you could almost reach out and touch it. Only who really wants to?
Stephen King
Little kids' minds are very, very strong. They bend. There's a lot of tensile strength and they don't break. We start our kids off on things like Hansel and Gretel, which features child abandonment, kidnapping, attempted murder, forcible detention, cannibalism, and finally murder by cremation. And the kids love it.
Stephen King
I got letters from people that have had peculiar psychic experiences, experiences with the dead - sometimes fairly tranquil experiences and sometimes very terrifying experiences. I do believe that a lot of them are sincere. I do believe, also, that some of them may be misguided. But, I think the majority of them have experienced something.
Stephen King
You're dead, George. You just don't have the sense to lie down.
Stephen King
You can't deny laughter when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
Stephen King
Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.
Stephen King
...stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when if feels like all you're managing is to shovel sh*t from a sitting position.
Stephen King
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
Few if any seemed to have grasped the Principle of Reality new knowledge leads always to yet more awesome mysteries. Greater physiological knowledge of the brain makes the existence of the soul less possible yet more probable by the nature of the search.
Stephen King
