  • Stephen King Quote #1

    - E quando você começa a amar alguém... acho que você nunca esquece completamente esse amor.

  • Stephen King Quote #2

    -¿Se te ha ocurrido alguna vez -preguntó, de pronto- que los padres no son más que niños grandes hasta que sus hijos les fuerzan a hacerse adultos? ¿Lo que generalmente ocurre entre los gritos y los pataleos de estos?

  • Stephen King Quote #3

    . . . On either side of them the essence of honky tonk beach resort had now enclosed them: gas stations, fried clam stands, Dairy Treets, motels painted in feverish pastel colors, mini golf.
    “Larry was drawn two painful ways by these things. Part of him clamored at their sad and blatant ugliness and at the ugliness of the minds that had turned this section of a magnificent, savage coastline into one long highway amusement park for families in station wagons. But there was a more subtle, deeper part of him that whispered of the people who had filled these places and this road during other summers. Ladies in sunhats and shorts too tight for their large behinds. College boys in red and black striped rugby shirts. Girls in beach shifts and thong sandals. Small screaming children with ice cream spread over their faces. They were American people, and there was a kind of dirty, compelling romance about them whenever they were in groups never mind if the group was in an Aspen ski lodge or performing their prosaic/ arcane rites of summer along Route 1 in Maine. And now all these Americans were gone. . . .

  • Stephen King Quote #4

    ... what I'm doing in here isn't all that different from what I was doing outside. I'll hand you a pretty cynical axiom: the amount of financial help an individual or company needs rises in direct proportion to how many people that person or business is screwing.

  • Stephen King Quote #5

    ...and still the hands did their trick, like over-eager dogs that want to do their rolling—over trick for you not once or twice but all night.

  • Stephen King Quote #6

    ...Elizabeth's doze had deepened into real sleep. Once she might have been young and beautiful. Once she might have been some young man's dream baby. Now she was snoring with her mostly toothless mouth pointed at the ceiling. If there's a God, I think He needs to try a little harder.

  • Stephen King Quote #7

    ...he was after all, a novelist...and a novelist was simply a fellow who got paid to tell lies. The bigger the lies, the better the pay.

  • Stephen King Quote #8

    ...I'd been raised by my parents to believe barfing your feelings on other people was the height of impoliteness...

  • Stephen King Quote #9

    ...it was amazing, wasn't it, how bad you could hurt when there was nothing physically wrong.

  • Stephen King Quote #10

    ...it was another year or two before I discovered that drat and draft were different words. During that same period I remember believing that details were dentals and that a bitch was an extremely tall woman. A son of a bitch was apt to be a basketball player. When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank (27-8).

  • Stephen King Quote #11

    ...most of what bein human's about is making choices and payin the bills when they come due. Some of the choices are pretty goddam nasty, but that don't give a person leave to just walk away from em... In a case like that, you just have to make the best choice you can n then pay the price.

  • Stephen King Quote #12

    ...She helped me find my heart when I thought my heart was gone.

  • Stephen King Quote #13

    ...so I think writers are made and not born. But what you choose to write is buried so deeply inside it's like lodestones inside you and sooner or later you come near something that you're supposed to be doing with your life and it's like a magnet. It attracts.

  • Stephen King Quote #14

    ...staring into thin air at those
    things only cats can see (Doctro Sleep)

  • Stephen King Quote #15

    ...there were those who might have suggested that reality is a highly untrustworthy concept, something perhaps no more solid than a piece of canvas stretched over an interlacing of cables like the strands of a spiderweb.

  • Stephen King Quote #16

    ...writers are often the worst judges of what they have written.

  • Stephen King Quote #17

    ..Thirty's the end of being young, forty is where you stop fooling yourself.

  • Stephen King Quote #18

    The arguments against insanity fall through with a soft shirring sound;
    these are the sounds of dead voices on dead records
    floating down the broken shaft of memory.
    When I turn to you to ask if you remember,
    When I turn to you in our bed

  • Stephen King Quote #19

    ?If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot…reading is the creative center of a writer’s life…you cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.

  • Stephen King Quote #20

    [Prison Break is] one of the craziest, most unpredictable roller-coaster rides on TV today.

  • Stephen King Quote #21

    —Me llamo Annie Wilkes, y soy…
    —Ya lo sé —la interrumpió—. Usted es mi fan número uno.

  • Stephen King Quote #22

    —Sonidos de arañazos, señor, suena como si ella aún estuviese viva allá abajo tratando de abrirse camino con las uñas hasta la tierra de los vivos, eso parece.

  • Stephen King Quote #23

    ¡Te voy a matar! Y, te lo aseguro, si Dios me lo permite, te mataré dos veces.

  • Stephen King Quote #24

    A book is like a pump. It gives nothing unless first you give to it. You prime a pump with your own water, you work the handle with your own strength. You do this because you expect to get back more than you give.

  • Stephen King Quote #25

    A boy who once wiped his ass with poison ivy probably doesn't belong in a smart people's club.

  • Stephen King Quote #26

    A change is as good as a rest.

  • Stephen King Quote #27

    A dor era como um pontão velho, por vezes estava encoberto, e outras, visível, mas sempre presente.

  • Stephen King Quote #28

    A gunslinger knows pride, that invisible bone that keeps the neck stiff.

  • Stephen King Quote #29

    A kid of your age—any kid—could get hold of matches if she wanted to, burn up the house or whatever. But not many do. Why would they want to?

  • Stephen King Quote #30

    A life without books is a thirsty life, and one without poetry is...like a life without pictures.
