Stephen King quotes... everyday

Lets get one thing clear right now; shall we? There is no Idea Dump; no Story Central; no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere; sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isnt to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

- On Writing —- Stephen King quote

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

- Stephen King quote

Last reason for reading horror: it?s a rehearsal for death. It?s a way to get ready. People say there?s nothing sure but death and taxes. But that?s not really true. There?s really only death; you know. Death is the biggie. Two hundred years from now; none of us are going to be here. We?re all going to be someplace else. Maybe a better place; maybe a worse place; it may be sort of like New Jersey; but someplace else. The same thing can be said of rabbits and mice and dogs; but we?re in a very uncomfortable position: we?re the only creatures at least as far as we know; though it may be true of dolphins and whales and a few other mammals that have very big brains

- Stephen King quote

- Stephen King quote

Jake stood on the corner of Second and Forty-sixth; looking at a board fence about five feet high. Tears were streaming down his cheeks. From the darkness beyond the fence cam a strong harmonic humming. The sound of many voices; all singing together. Singing one vast open note. Here is yes; the voices said. Here is you may. Here is the good turn; the fortunate meeting; the fever that broke just before dawn and left your blood calm. Here is the wish that came true and the understanding eye. Here is the kindness you were given and thus learned to pass on. Here is the sanity and clarity you thought were lost. Here; everything is all right.

- The Dark Tower : Wolves of the Calla —- Stephen King quote
