Coincidences happen, but I've come to believe they are actually quite rare. Something is at work, okay? Somewhere in the universe (or behind it), a great machine is ticking and turning its fabulous gears.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I like to think that good people win. But even good people have other sides. Most people will slow down to get a good look at an accident, even though they won't admit it.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

When your story is ready for ...

When your story is ready for rewrite, cut it to the bone. Get rid of every ounce of excess fat. This is going to hurt; revising a story down to the bare essentials is always a little like murdering children, but it must be done.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Reading in bed can be heaven,...

Reading in bed can be heaven, assuming you can get just the right amount of light on the page and aren't prone to spilling your coffee or cognac on the sheets.

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?

Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it.

The King is in his Tower, eating bread and honey. The Breakers in the basement, making all the money.

Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.

Outside, a gusty October breeze was combing leaves from the trees and sending them across her backyard in colorful skitters.

The death of the music business was insane, but audio recordings have been around now for maybe 120 years. Books have been around for, what, nine centuries? So they're more entrenched than music.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Nightmares exist outside of l...

Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there's little fun to be had in explanations; they're antithetical to the poetry of fear.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

In bowling and in life, if a person made the spares, the strikes would take care of themselves.

I have no plans to get an iPad. I know it will do more things than my Kindle, but I don’t want more things. If I want other stuff - movies, TV shows, weather forecasts, the forthcoming Josh Ritter album - I have my Mac.

I believe that anyone using the phrase 'That's so cool' should have to stand in the corner.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The book is not the important part. The book is the delivery system. The important part is the story and the talent.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Horror movies often work better when we have a stake in the game. The more we care about the characters, the more human they are to us, the more appealing they are to us and the more effective the horror tends to be.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I saw something even more beautiful than a sense of humor: an appreciation for life’s essential absurdity.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want. Anything at all .... as long as you tell the truth.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Writers must be fair and remember even bad guys (most of them, anyway) see themselves as good—they are the heroes of their own lives. Giving them a fair chance as characters can create some interesting shades of gray—and shades of gray are also a part of life.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

My feeling of the whole genre, of the terror tale, is this: The best thing that you can do for the readers in this field is to terrify them. It is something that is intellectual, it happens in your mind.
