Stephen King Quotes

The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write Picture Quote #1

Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again Picture Quote #1

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty Picture Quote #1

The story is the only thing that’s important. Everything else will take care of itself. It’s like what bowlers say. You hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. But bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. If you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. But without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there’s nothing happening in the story. And the same is true with mood. Story is the only thing that’s important Picture Quote #1

Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I’m aware that I’m writing. I’m aware of my surroundings. It’s like shallow sleep on both ends, when you go to bed and when you wake up. But in the middle, the world is gone and I’m able to see better Picture Quote #1

Pay and the story rolls,.. Steal and the story folds. No stealing from the blind newsboy Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to even stand next to any high rise building as long as I lived... I didn’t even want to go over a bridge Picture Quote #1

When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed Picture Quote #1

I’ve taken off two months, three months at a time, and, by the end, I get really squirrelly. My night life, my dream life, gets extremely populated and crazed Picture Quote #1

The cumulative power of doing things the same way every day seems to be a way of saying to the mind: You’re going to be dreaming soon Picture Quote #1

Fantasy fiction is essentially about the concept of power; great fantasy fiction is about people who find it at great cost or lose it tragically; mediocre fantasy fiction is about people who have it and never lose it but simply wield it Picture Quote #1

I never think of stories as made things; I think of them as found things. As if you pull them out of the ground Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In bowling and in life, if a person made the spares, the strikes would take care of themselves Picture Quote #1

City life is no life for a country man; for such a man that life is a kind of damnation in itself Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing as human as hunger. There’s no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art Picture Quote #1

Life is a wheel, and if you wait long enough, it always comes back around to where it started Picture Quote #1

Life isn’t always a butcher’s game. Sometimes the prizes are real. Sometimes they’re precious Picture Quote #1

If you have given up your heart... you have already lost. A heartless creature is a loveless creature, and a loveless creature is a beast Picture Quote #1

It was always a pleasure to write. I can never think of a time when I just hacked something out to fulfil a contract or meet a deadline. I might have hacked things out, but it was always stuff I loved Picture Quote #1

I didn’t go to bars much. One drunken asshole was all I could handle and that was me. I wrote. I don’t remember a lot of it Picture Quote #1

Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle Picture Quote #1

Stories are like relics, part of an undiscovered preexisting world. The writer’s job is to use the tools in his or her toolbox to get as much of each one out of the ground intact as possible Picture Quote #1

I was sitting one day and thinking about cannibalism, because that’s what guys like me do... and I thought, suppose a guy was washed up on a rocky island, how much of himself could he eat? Picture Quote #1

I enjoy going back and forth between plays and novels. It`s like having a wife and a mistress. Books are the wife; plays, the mistress Picture Quote #1

The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do Picture Quote #1

I hardly ever read mainstream fiction that deals with life as it is. I like an element of fantasy, something that isn`t quite of the real world Picture Quote #1

My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie Picture Quote #1

God and the afterlife and all that is certainly a subject that’s interested me, and I think it interests me more the older that I get Picture Quote #1
