Stephen King

Humans were built to look back; that’s why we have that swivel joint in our necks.

We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why. Not until the future eats the present, anyway. We know when it`s too late.

Life is like Friday on a soap opera. It gives you the illusion that everything is going to wrap up, and then the same old shit starts up on Monday.

The only way to go on is to go on. To say I can do this even when you know you can’t.

Women buy stuff at sales for the same reason men climb mountains - because they’re there.

If you were seeing a lot of horseshit, there had to be a pony in the vicinity.

When dawn was still long hours away, bad thoughts took on flesh and began to walk. In the middle of the night thoughts became zombies.

If you don’t control your temper, your temper will control you.

Christmas is such a carefree, low-pressure time - that's one of the things I love about it.

Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.

The trust of the innocent is the liar`s most useful tool.

A short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.

You can`t deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.

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.

You can, you should, and if you`re brave enough to start, you will.
