More quotes by Stephen King
Constant reading will pull you into a place - a mind-set, if you like the phrase - where you can write eagerly and without self-consciousness.
Stephen King
Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up
Stephen King
And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.
Stephen King
Art is the concrete artifact of faith and expectation, the realization of a world that would otherwise be little more than a veil of pointless consciousness stretched over a gulf of mystery.
Stephen King
They were close to the end of the beginning . . .
Stephen King
As a species we're fundamentally insane.
Stephen King
Even when love isn't enough...somehow it is.
Stephen King
Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.
Stephen King
They say that loving eyes can never see, but that's a fool's axiom. Sometimes, they see too much
Stephen King
The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.
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
Not writing would be like going the rest of your life without having dreams.
Stephen King
Are you sure self-pity is a luxury you can afford, Jack?
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
Stephen King
It's best to have your tools with you. If you don't, you're apt to find something you didn't expect and get discouraged.
Stephen King
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
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.
Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
