More quotes by Stephen King
Let the word and the legend go before you. Let the world go before you. Let your shadow grow. Let it grow hair on its face. Let it become dark. Given time, words may even enchant an enchanter.
Stephen King
Zombies are the new vampire.
Stephen King
What charitable 1 percenters can't do is assume responsibility - America's national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.
Stephen King
City life is no life for a country man for such a man that life is a kind of damnation in itself.
Stephen King
The woman had looked into the abyss and then walked out across it.
Stephen King
...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.
Stephen King
His mother called such people ignorant and superstitious, but his father only shook his head slowly and puffed his pipe and said that sometimes old stories had a grain or two of truth in them and it was best not to take chances. It was why, he said, he crossed himself whenever a black cat crossed his path.
Stephen King
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Stephen King
I know your mother lives in your head - almost everyone's mother does, I guess - but you can't let her have her way on this one
Stephen King
You needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from the beginning to the end and ka is always served.
Stephen King
Talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force.
Stephen King
Time continued to pass - the oldest trick in the world, and maybe the only one that really is magic.
Stephen King
On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?
Stephen King
Sarcastic people tend to be marshmallows underneath the armor
Stephen King
So where do the ideas-the salable ideas-come from? They come from my nightmares. Not the night-time variety, as a rule, but the ones that hide just beyond the doorway that separates the conscious from the unconscious.
Stephen King
When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.
Stephen King
Somebody asked Somerset Maugham about his place in the pantheon of writers, and he said, I'm in the very front row of the second rate. I'm sort of haunted by that.
Stephen King
Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward life with all the courage you can find and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand.
Stephen King
