More quotes by Stephen King
The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.
Stephen King
I can't see the future, but it's grim. The depletion of resources - we're living in this dine-and-dash economy.
Stephen King
You're dead, George. You just don't have the sense to lie down.
Stephen King
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King
Research can only present data about the past. No one seriously believes that people's answers to hypothetical questions about the future accurately represent their future behaviour they merely represent a current attitude, which may or may not be translated into future behaviour.
Stephen King
Writing is like being in a dream state or under self-directed hypnosis. It induces a state of recall that - while not perfect - is pretty spooky.
Stephen King
Fear is the emotion that makes us blind.
Stephen King
So okay - there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You've blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
The more fiction you read and write, the more you'll find your paragraphs forming on their own.
Stephen King
I think everybody has experiences from time to time they can't explain. They are peculiarities. Usually we just dismiss them because they are uncomfortable to think about.
Stephen King
You know what talent is? The curse of expectation. As a kid you have to deal with that, beat it somehow. If you can write, you think God put you on earth to blow Shakespeare away. Or if you can paint, maybe you think--I did--that God put you on earth to blow your father away.
Stephen King
there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Stephen King
I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it, Not for the whole world.
Stephen King
When facts speak, the wise man listens.
Stephen King
Your pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you. Now eat your pie.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King
Whatever came to mind, whatever came to hand, I would read.
Stephen King
He found himself still with too many questions and not enough answers.
Stephen King
He supposed that even in Hell, people got an occasional sip of water, if only so they could appreciate the full horror of unrequited thirst when it set in again.
