More quotes by Stephen King
Sometimes the embers are better than the campfire.
Stephen King
They walked back into the world together, wearing the gift that had been given them: just life. Pity was not love, Barbie reflected...but if you were a child, giving clothes to someone who was naked had to be a step in the right direction.
Stephen King
Being sorry for myself is a luxury I can't afford.
Stephen King
Anything with the power to make you laugh over thirty years later isn’t a waste of time. I think something like that is very close to immortality.
Stephen King
The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep.
Stephen King
The color white is the absence of memory.
Stephen King
And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.
Stephen King
the only mortal sin is giving up.
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
Tracking account planning is rather like counting a mixed batch of tropical fish. You think you see patterns, but they've all changed by the time you've finished counting.
Stephen King
The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.
Stephen King
I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.
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
But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Stephen King
I get inspiration, a lot of times, from very commonplace things that just strike a chord and develop themselves in the subconscious.
Stephen King
Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.
Stephen King
Stories are artifacts, not really made things which we create and can take credit for, but pre-existing objects which we dig up.
Stephen King
The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
He found himself still with too many questions and not enough answers.
Stephen King
