More quotes by Stephen King
I can't lie and say there are no bad writers. Sorry, but there are lots of bad writers.
Stephen King
The only religions I don't like are the ones that insist their God is bigger than your God.
Stephen King
The late afternoon sunlight, warm as oil, sweet as childhood.
Stephen King
We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.
Stephen King
You know what talent is? The curse of expectation. As a kid you have to deal with that, beat it somehow. If you can write, you think God put you on earth to blow Shakespeare away. Or if you can paint, maybe you think--I did--that God put you on earth to blow your father away.
Stephen King
It was not fair, it was not fair, it was not fair. So cried his child's heart, and then his child's heart died a little. For that is also the way of the world.
Stephen King
I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.
Stephen King
Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.
Stephen King
Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes.
Stephen King
Symbolism exists to adorn and enrich, not to create an artificial sense of profundity.
Stephen King
Making people believe the unbelievable is no trick it's work... Belief and reader absorption come in the details: An overturned tricycle in the gutter of an abandoned neighborhood can stand for everything.
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
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
Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.
Stephen King
As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along.
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 family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.
Stephen King
She felt like someone who drowns remembering what it was like to still be on the boat, so calm and at ease, so carelessly safe
Stephen King
Love didn't grow very well in a place where there was only fear
