You've got to do something to fill up your day. And I can only play so much guitar and watch so many TV shows. It fulfills me. There are two things about it I like: It makes me happy, and it makes other people happy.
Stephen King

It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
Stephen King

Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.

Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in.

I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 - Jesus, did you?

Mornings belong to whatever is new the current composition. Afternoons are for naps and letters.
Stephen King

Working with him was sort of like trying to defuse a bomb with somebody standing behind you and every now and then clashing a pair of cymbals together. In a word, upsetting.

I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.

The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn't real. I know that, and I also know that if I'm careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.

never's the word God listens for when he needs a laugh.
