Stephen King
I've spread my legs in the backseat in a creative sense quite a few times.
Stephen King
You don't always talk with your mouth. Sometimes what you say with your mouth hardly matters at all. You have to signify
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
We don't know the days that will change our lives. Probably just as well.
Stephen King
Everyone needs a hobby, he said. And everyone needs a miracle or two, just to prove life is more than just one long trudge from the cradle to the grave.
Stephen King
Kill you all! The clown was laughing and screaming. Try to stop me and I'll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can't stop me!
Stephen King
Cats were the gangsters of the animal world, living outside the law and often dying there. There were a great many of them who never grew old by the fire.
Stephen King
People who try hard to do the right thing always seem mad.
Stephen King
You have to stay faithful to what you're working on.
