Image
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
Image
This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
Image
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.

There's one novel, Cujo, that I barely remember writing at all.
Stephen King
Image
there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.
Stephen King

Was it pretty? Your country. . .your land? It was beautiful, the gunslinger said. There were fields and forests and rivers and mists in the morning. But that's only pretty. My mother used to say that the only real beauty is order and love and light.

Image
They were nice enough people and all, but there wasn't much love in them. Because they were too busy being afraid. Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn't grow very well in a place where it was always dark.
Stephen King
Image

Stephen King
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
When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.
Stephen King
Image
The essential and defining characteristic of childhood is not the effortless merging of dream and reality, but only alienation. There are no words for childhood's dark turns and exhalations. A wise child recognizes it and submits to the necessary consequences. A child who counts the cost is a child no longer.
Stephen King
Image
Being sorry for myself is a luxury I can't afford.
Stephen King
Image
This was the Darker Life, where every truth was written backward.
Stephen King
Image
It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in a while exhilarating.

the man in black travels with your soul in his pocket.

Until we see each other again, keep your head together, read some good books, be useful, be happy.
