When you sit down to write, write. Don't do anything else except go to the bathroom, and only do that if it absolutely cannot be put off.
Stephen King
Image
I tend to scare myself.
Stephen King
Image
And this wasn’t lying, not really. It was leaving out.
Stephen King
Image
Every religion lies. Every moral precept is a delusion. Even the stars are a mirage. The truth is darkness, and the only thing that matters is making a statement before one enters it. Cutting the skin of the world and leaving a scar. That's all history is, after all: scar tissue.
Stephen King
Image
Love isn't soft, like the poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.
Stephen King
Image
Pride was the belt you used to hold your pants up when you had no pants.
Stephen King
Image
Sooner or later everything you thought you'd left behind comes around again. For good or ill, it comes around again.
Stephen King
Image
There came a time when you realized that moving on was pointless. That you took yourself with you wherever you went.
Stephen King
Image
You know how it's going to end, but instead of spoiling things, that somehow increases your fascination. It's like watching a kid run his electric train faster and faster and waiting for it to derail on one of the curves.
Stephen King
Image
If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.
Stephen King
Image
I want to write about spiders. To me, this is the one theme that cuts right across and scares just about everybody. Spiders, to me, are just about the most horrible, awful things that I can think about. I think everyone is afraid of spiders.
Stephen King
Image
I'm having a magenta day. Not just red, but magenta!
Stephen King
Image
I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
Stephen King
Image
It was really amazing the number of hard hits from which a mind could recover.
Stephen King
Image
We either learn to accept or we end up writing letters home with crayons.
Stephen King
Image
The best show on television is Red Sox baseball. Everything else sucks.
Stephen King
Image
He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever.
Stephen King
Image
Las personas con un alto nivel de tolerancia al aburrimiento tienen tiempo de sobra para pensar.
Stephen King
Image
Just go on dancing with me like this forever and I'll never tire. We'll scrape our shoe on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.
Stephen King
Image
He's a very nice man and all that, easy to get along with, fun, he never makes me cry. But is that love? I mean, is that all there is to it? Even when you learned to ride your two-wheeler, you had to fall off a few times and scrape both knees. Call it a rite of passage. And that was just a little thing.
