More quotes by Stephen King
There will be water if God wills it.
Stephen King
It don't matter if you believe in God Nick, he believes in you.
Stephen King
I have two amazing things in my life: I'm pain-free and I'm debt-free.
Stephen King
What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common.
Stephen King
Trust, a sense of humor, and don't let the sun go down on an argument without trying to make it up. That's all I know about good marriage. I've been married a long time - it seems to be working.
Stephen King
In the end, the wind takes everything, doesn't it? And why not? Why other? If the sweetness of our lives did not depart, there would be no sweetness at all.
Stephen King
Good writing is often about letting go of fear and affectation. Affectation itself, beginning with the need to define some sorts of writing as 'good' and other sorts as 'bad' is fearful behavior.
Stephen King
When creative people do their best work, they're hardly ever in charge, they're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut yelling wheee.
Stephen King
I think it's relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn't cost them anything. It doesn't keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling.
Stephen King
As with all other aspects of fiction, the key to writing good dialogue is honesty.
Stephen King
When you write, you want to get rid of the world, don’t you? Of course you do. When you’re writing, you’re creating your own worlds.
Stephen King
Dolls with no little girls around to mind them were sort of creepy under any conditions.
Stephen King
It's Merry Christmas at our house. Whatever it is at yours, have a happy one. And be good to somebody.
Stephen King
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.
Stephen King
He understood well enough how a man with a choice between pride and responsibility will almost always choose pride--if responsibility robs him of his manhood.
Stephen King
Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Stephen King
there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.
Stephen King
You know, King said, I'm not much good at telling stories. That sounds like a paradox, but it's not it's the reason I write them down.
Stephen King
If life teaches anything at all it teaches that there are so many happy endings that the man who believes that there is no God needs his rationality called into serious question.
Stephen King
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right — as right as you can, anyway — it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it.
Stephen King
