Stephen King
Roland could not understand why anyone would want cocaine or any other illegal drug, for that matter, in a world where such a powerful one as sugar was so plentiful and cheap.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Advertising tends to be most effective in jogging finally into action those people who are well-enough disposed towards a product, but have not yet got around to buying it.
Stephen King
Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.
Stephen King
If you can't laugh when things go bad--laugh and put on a little carnival--then you're either dead or wishing you were.
Stephen King
What Jack didn't understand was that no matter where he went, the same asshole got off the plane.
Stephen King
All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.
Stephen King
The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.
Stephen King
I don't take notes I don't outline, I don't do anything like that. I just flail away at the goddamn thing. I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami. You can't sell it as caviar.
