➦ He began to cry, not hysterically or screaming as people cry when concealed rage with tears, but with continuous sobs who has just discovered that he's alone and will be for long.

➦ I don't mean that creative people are somehow finer, or more sensitive, and thus have finer, more sensitive nervous breakdowns - you can save that horseshit for the Sylvia Plath worshipers. It's just that creative people have creative breakdowns. – Stephen King
➦ Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutter ball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love. – Stephen King
➦ The brain is a muscle that can move the world. – Stephen King
➦ For me, that emotional payoff is what it’s all about. I want you to laugh or cry when you read a story...or do both at the same time. I want your heart, in other words. If you want to learn something, go to school. – Stephen King
➦ Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar. Art consists of the persistence of memory. – Stephen King
➦ Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym. – Stephen King
➦ 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

➦ I think it's relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn't cost them anything. It doesn't keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling. – Stephen King
➦ Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle. – Stephen King
➦ 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. – Stephen King
➦ It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright. – Stephen King
➦ If you're just starting out as a writer, you could do worse than strip your television's electric plug-wire, wrap a spike around it, and then stick it back into the wall. See what blows, and how far. Just an idea. – Stephen King
➦ Absence may or may not make the heart grow fonder, but it certainly freshens the eye. – Stephen King
➦ Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. – Stephen King

➦ You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants. – Stephen King

➦ Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life. – Stephen King
➦ No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don't. – Stephen King
