I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Like anything else that happen...

Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

We've switched from a culture ...

We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Well, I'm like a drug addict, ...

Well, I'm like a drug addict, I'm always saying I'm going to stop, and then I don't, what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

We like to think about how sma...

We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Wherever you write is supposed...

Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

He had a massive stroke. He di...

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 1467 quotes

But I think there are a set of...

But I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

That's something that is almos...

That's something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

As for the end of the universe...

As for the end of the universe I say let it come as it will, in ice, fire, or darkness. What did the universe ever do for me that I should mind its welfare?

Stephen King 1467 quotes

You know how it's going to end...

You know how it's going to end, but instead of spoiling things, that somehow increases your fascination. It's like watching a kid run his electric train faster and faster and waiting for it to derail on one of the curves.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Don't look back, never look ba...

Don't look back, never look back. How often do people tell themselves that after an experience that is exceptionally good (or exceptionally bad?)? Often, I suppose. And the advice usually goes unheeded. Humans were built to look back; that's why we have tat swivel joint in our necks.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Life's simplest answers are of...

Life's simplest answers are often the easiest to overlook.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

God wiped snot out of his nose...

God wiped snot out of his nose and that was you.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Like some dogs: kick them once...

Like some dogs: kick them once and they never trust you again, no matter how nice you are to them.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The person healed has an obligation to then ask whyЂ' to meditate on God's will, and the extraordinary lengths to which God has gone to realize His will.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

You learn best by reading a lot and writing a lot, and the most valuable lessons of all are the ones you teach yourself.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Rightly tired of the pain Д° hear and feel, boss... where we's comin from or goin to or why... If Д° could end it, Д° would. But Д° can't.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

He didn't know if that was rea...

He didn't know if that was really true or not, but he discovered something which was tremendously liberating: he didn't care. He was very tired of thinking and thinking and still not knowing. He was also tired of being frightened, like a man who has entered a cave on a lark and now begins to suspect he is lost. Stop thinking about it, then. That's the solution.

We have once again succeeded in destroying what we could not create.
