More quotes by Stephen King
The water was glassy and calm, still candy-colored in the afterglow of sunset.
Stephen King
Memories are contrary things if you quit chasing them and turn your back, they often return on their own.
Stephen King
Politics always change. Stories never do.
Stephen King
Grammar is...the pole you grab to get your thoughts up on their feet and walking.
Stephen King
Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.
Stephen King
I like to end stories where the readers have a little room to run. They can resolve things as they like in their own mind.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives. . . .
Stephen King
The terror, which would not end for another 28 years-if it ever did end-began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
Stephen King
I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.
Stephen King
Because things like this you can only ssay once. And you either get it wrong or right, it's the end either way, because it's too hard to ever try to say again.
Stephen King
I work until beer o'clock.
Stephen King
Anything with the power to make you laugh over thirty years later isn’t a waste of time. I think something like that is very close to immortality.
Stephen King
I can't understand why people use religion to hurt each other when there's already so much pain in the world.
Stephen King
Only God gets things right the first time.
Stephen King
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do.
Stephen King
The simple truth of things is that bad dreams are far better than bad wakings.
Stephen King
Maybe that's why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.
Stephen King
A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around.
Stephen King
There are all sorts of dream interpretations, Freud's being the most notorious, but I have always believed they served a simple eliminatory function, and not much more - that dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then.
Stephen King
