Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.
Stephen King
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
Stephen King
French is the language that turns dirt into romance.
Stephen King
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Stephen King
He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?
Stephen King
I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and Fries.
Stephen King
I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There's some pretty good homegrown dope. I'm sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses.
Stephen King
I work until beer o'clock.
Stephen King
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.
Stephen King
If I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.
Stephen King
It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
Stephen King
Nobody was really surprised when it happened, not really, not on the subconscious level where savage things grow.
Stephen King
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen King
People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.
Stephen King
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.
Stephen King
Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Stephen King
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window.
Stephen King
The devil's voice is sweet to hear.
Stephen King
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
Stephen King
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
Stephen King
When asked, "How do you write?" I invariably answer, "one word at a time."
Stephen King
When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off.
Stephen King
You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens.
