More quotes by Stephen King
...stupidity is one of the two things we see most clearly in retrospect. The other is missed chances.
Stephen King
The writer's original perception of a character or characters may be as erroneous as the reader's.
Stephen King
But who can foresee such things? None of us can predict the final outcomes of our actions, and few of us even try most of us just do what we do to prolong a moment's pleasure or to stop the pain. And even when we act for the noblest reasons, the last link of the chain all too often drips with someone's blood.
Stephen King
He found himself still with too many questions and not enough answers.
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
And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God's language - it's better, it's finer, it's language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.
Stephen King
The first draft of a book—even a long one—should take no more than three months, the length of a season.
Stephen King
He was one of those quite rare adults who communicate with small children fairly well and who love them all impartially--not in a sugary way but in a businesslike fashion that may sometimes entail a hug, in the same way that closing a big business deal may call for a handshake.
Stephen King
It is, after all, the dab of grit that seeps into an oyster's shell that makes the pearl, not pearl-making seminars with other oysters.
Stephen King
Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.
Stephen King
He who speaks without an attentive ear is mute.
Stephen King
The death of the music business was insane, but audio recordings have been around now for maybe 120 years. Books have been around for, what, nine centuries? So they're more entrenched than music.
Stephen King
Books are a uniquely portable magic.
Stephen King
As it happened, all three of us turned out to be real writers--a coincidence almost too large to be termed mere coincidence in a society where literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of college students aspire to the writer's trade and where bare hundreds actually break through.
Stephen King
I am your number one fan.
Stephen King
We don't know the days that will change our lives. Probably just as well.
Stephen King
Once again there was the desert, and that only.
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
And that almost killed you? It wasn't deep but it got infected. Infection means that the bad germs got into it. Infection's the most dangerous thing there is, Tom. Infection was what made the superflu germ kill all the people. And infection is what made people want to make the germ in the first place. An infection of the mind.
Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
