Sometimes stories cry out to ...

Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Whenever I publish a book, I ...

Whenever I publish a book, I feel like a trapper caught by the Iroquois. They're all lined up with Tomahawks, and the idea is to run through with your head down, and everybody gets to take a swing. They hit you in the head, the back, the ass, and the balls.

They're animals, all right. B...

They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Tracking account planning is ...

Tracking account planning is rather like counting a mixed batch of tropical fish. You think you see patterns, but they've all changed by the time you've finished counting.

Everyone loves something for nothing...even if it costs everything.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

A secret needs two faces to bounce between; a secret needs to see itself in another pair of eyes.

You cannot friend a hawk, they said, unless you are a hawk yourself, alone and only a sojourner in the land, without friends or the need of them.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Try any goddam thing you like...

Try any goddam thing you like, no matter how boringly normal or outrageous. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, toss it. Toss it even if you love it.

Things were going very fast now. Too fast to suit him. Fantasy and reality had merged.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Hug and kiss whoever helped g...

Hug and kiss whoever helped get you - financially, mentally, morally, emotionally - to this day. Parents, mentors, friends, teachers. If you're too uptight to do that, at least do the old handshake thing, but I recommend a hug and a kiss. 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

?If you want to be a writer, ...

?If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

This is a short book because most books about writing are filled with bullshit.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The Tower. He would come to t...

The Tower. He would come to the Dark Tower and there he would sing their names; there he would sing their names; there he would sing all their names. The sun stained the east a dusky rose, and at last Roland, no longer the last gunslinger but one of the last three, slept and dreamed his angry dreams through which there ran only that one soothing blue thread: There I will sing all their names!

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The important question has no...

The important question has nothing to do with whether the talk in your story is sacred or profane; the only question is how it rings on the page and in your ear. If you expect it to ring true, then you must talk yourself. Even more important, you must shut up and listen to others talk.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

It always comes down to just ...

It always comes down to just two choices. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Small towns harbor small imaginations.

The redness was going out of ...

The redness was going out of the light now, the remains of the day were a fading pink, the color of wild roses.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Your job isn't to find these ...

Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

But it's writing, damn it, no...

But it's writing, damn it, not washing the car or putting on eyeliner. If you can take it seriously, we can do business. If you can't or won't, it's time for you to close the book and do something else. Wash the car, maybe.

The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.
