Quote

Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.

City life is no life for a country man for such a man that life is a kind of damnation in itself.
Stephen King
Image
The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.
Stephen King
Image
I did spend years as an addict, so I know that world, although I wish I didn't.
Stephen King
Image
A lot of authority figures want to be good. I sense that, and yet at the same time I sense that authority, after a while, always leads to some kind of oppression. When the minority report comes in, what you do is run the minority out of town with a flaming cross. It's just the way things are.
Stephen King

I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.

Image
High school isn't a very important place. When you're going you think it's a big deal, but when it's over nobody really thinks it was great unless they're beered up.
Stephen King
Image
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
Stephen King
Image
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.
Stephen King

Image
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.
Stephen King
Image
Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.
Stephen King
Image
If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.
Stephen King
Image
Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
Stephen King
Image
As far as where I go when I die, the concept that I am simple going to flick out, like a light bulb, to me is not only spiritually impossible to believe, but logically it is laughable - the idea that we simply die and nothing happens.
Stephen King
Image
The town kept its secrets, and the Marsten House brooded over it like a ruined king.
Stephen King
Image
I’m not particularly keen on writing which exhaustively describes the physical characteristics of the people in the story and what they’re wearing… I can always get a J. Crew catalogue… …So spare me, if you please, the hero’s ‘sharply intelligent blue eyes’ and ‘outthrust determined chin’.

The mystery of the universe is not time but size.

Adults are the real monsters.

Just go on dancing with me like this forever and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoe on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.
