More quotes by Stephen King
I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.
Stephen King
As we get older, our fears, in some way, sharpen and become more personal, because we can no longer - let's say take a book like It or maybe Christine, and say these are make-believe fears.
Stephen King
Kids absolutely not reading. I think it's because they're so screen-oriented [TVs, computers, smartphones]. They do read - girls in particular read a lot. They have a tendency to go toward the paranormal, romances, Twilight and stuff like that. And then it starts to taper off because other things take precedence, like the Kardashian sisters.
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Stephen King
They were nice enough people and all, but there wasn't much love in them. Because they were too busy being afraid. Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn't grow very well in a place where it was always dark.
Stephen King
Belief in the supernatural or belief in wild talents like precognition and telepathy and telekinesis and things like that, it seems to me that belief in those things is just very, very freeing.
Stephen King
Fear is the emotion that makes us blind.
Stephen King
He removed his unvaluable valuables and dumped his shirt, pants, and skivvies into a letter slot.
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
It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.
Stephen King
When you write, you want to get rid of the world, don’t you? Of course you do. When you’re writing, you’re creating your own worlds.
Stephen King
Sometimes the embers are better than the campfire.
Stephen King
Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.
Stephen King
A product is something made in a factory a brand is something that is bought by the customer. A product can be copied by a competitor a brand is unique. A product can be quickly outdated a successful brand is timeless.
Stephen King
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Stephen King
God and the afterlife and all that is certainly a subject that's interested me, and I think it interests me more the older that I get.
Stephen King
But there's one thing I'm sure about. An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.
Stephen King
Things come in three major degrees in the human experience, I think. There's good, bad, and terrible. And as you go down into progressive darkness towards terrible, it gets harder and harder to make subdivisions.
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
Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.
Stephen King
