So where do the ideas-the sal...

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 1467 quotes

Faith is a great thing, and r...

Faith is a great thing, and really religious people would like us to believe that faith and knowing are the same thing, but I don't believe that myself. Because there are too many different ideas on the subject. What we know is this: When we die, one of two things happens. Either our souls and thoughts somehow survive the experience of dying or they don't. If they do, that opens up every possibility you could think of. If they don't, it's just blotto. The end.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I don't spend the day writing...

I don't spend the day writing. I'll maybe write fresh copy for two hours, and then I'll go back and revise some of it and print what I like and then turn it off.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

If being a kid is about learn...

If being a kid is about learning how to live, then being a grown-up is about learning how to die.

I believe the road to hell is...

I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops.

The road to hell is paved with adverbs.

A good reputation is something that must be earned, yet can never be bought.

Murder is like potato chips: ...

Murder is like potato chips: you can't stop with just one.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

It would perhaps not be amiss...

It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. He had never wanted to kill anybody. He had been struck by something, possibly destiny, or fate, or only a degenerative nerve disease called rabies. Free will was not a factor.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

As with all other aspects of ...

As with all other aspects of the narrative art, you will improve with practice, but practice will never make you perfect. Why should it? What fun would that be?

Stephen King 1467 quotes

On that gray street, with the smell of industrial smokes in the air and the afternoon bleeding away to evening, downtown Derry looked only marginally more charming than a dead hooker in a church pew.

Has it ever occurred to you that parents are nothing but overgrown kids until their children drag them into adulthood? Usually kicking and screaming?

Stephen King 1467 quotes

But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity; there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The late afternoon sunlight, ...

The late afternoon sunlight, warm as oil, sweet as childhood.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Life was such a wheel that no...

Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Don't let the sun go down wit...

Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Talent renders the whole idea...

Talent renders the whole idea of rehearsal meaningless; when you find something at which you are talented, you do it (whatever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes are ready to fall out of your head. Even when no one is listening (or reading or watching), every outing is a bravura performance, because you as the creator are happy. Perhaps even ecstatic.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Speaking personally, you can ...

Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered.
