Stephen King Quotes

"Get busy living or get busy dying""The road to hell is paved with adverbs""The most important things are the hardest to say""No great thing is created suddenly""A short story is a different thing altogether""We lie best when we lie to ourselves""Books are the perfect entertainment""The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool""Fiction is the truth inside the lie""Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too""But writing is the act of trawling the shadows to find the heart shaped glare""Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters""Hope is a good thing maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies""Time takes it all whether you want it to or not""The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed""There’s no harm in hoping for the best as long as you’re prepared for the worst""Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly""Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us get up and go to work""Talent is cheaper than table salt""We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones"
