  • Bird and bear and hare and fish, give my love her fondest wish.

    Robin Furth, Stephen King (2006). “Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance”, p.112, Simon and Schuster
  • When all else fails, give up and go to the library.

    Stephen King (2016). “11/22/63: A Novel”, p.172, Simon and Schuster
  • I love you too much to lie to you, Lisey. I love you with all that passes for my heart. I suspect that kind of all-out love becomes a burden to a woman in time, but it's the only kind I have to give. I think we're going to be quite a wealthy couple in terms of money, but I'll almost certainly be an emotional pauper all my life. I've got the money coming, but as for the rest I've got just enough for you, and I won't ever dirty or dilute it with lies. Not with the words I say, not with the ones I hold back.

  • A woman who would steal your love when your love was really all you had to give was not much of a woman.

    Stephen King (2016). “Four Past Midnight”, p.421, Simon and Schuster
  • Writers must be fair and remember even bad guys (most of them, anyway) see themselves as good—they are the heroes of their own lives. Giving them a fair chance as characters can create some interesting shades of gray—and shades of gray are also a part of life.

    "Writing Advice from Stephen King & Jerry Jenkins". Interview with Jessica Strawser, www.writersdigest.com. July 21, 2009.
  • 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.

    Book  
    Stephen King (2009). “Stephen King Goes to the Movies”, p.125, Simon and Schuster
  • Give a man or woman back his self-respect, and in most cases-not all, but most-you also give back that person's ability to think with at least some clarity.

    Self  
    Stephen King (2013). “Under the Dome: A Novel”, p.482, Simon and Schuster
  • There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.

    FaceBook post by Stephen King from Jan 20, 2014
  • A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time. Any fool with steady hands and a working set of lungs can build up a house of cards and then blow it down, but it takes a genius to make people laugh.

    "Duma Key". Book by Stephen King, January 22, 2008.
  • No writer, painter, or actor - no artist - is ever handed a sharp knife (although a few people are handed almighty big ones; the name we give to the artist with the big knife is 'genius'), and we hone with varying degrees of zeal and aptitude.

    Stephen King (2011). “Danse Macabre”, p.89, Simon and Schuster
  • It's time for the wealthy to pay their fair share before the middle class becomes the forgotten class.- And it's time for the banks to give back what they were given. There are those in politics, particularly those on the conservative side, who can't get enough of telling people that the wealthy one per cent must not be taxed because doing so kills jobs. The real job-killers are corporate greed and political expediency. It's time for working people in Maine and all across the country to take back the American dream.

  • The first thing was to get down to Addie Richardson's henhouse, and that was a goodish way, four or five miles. She found herself wondering if the Lord was going to send her an eagle to fly her those four miles, or send Elijah in his fiery chariot to give her a lift. Blasphemy," she told herself complacently. "The Lord provides strength, not taxicabs.

    Stephen King (2008). “The Stand”, p.717, Anchor
  • I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.

  • True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners. And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.

    Stephen King (2016). “The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass”, p.421, Simon and Schuster
  • Dead was the gift that kept on giving. Dead, like diamonds, was forever.

    Stephen King, Darrel Anderson (2005). “The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah”, Scribner Book Company
  • If God gives you something you can do, why in God's name wouldn't you do it?

    Stephen King (2000). “On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft”, p.96, Simon and Schuster
  • I don't have nightmares; I give them all to you.

  • Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.

    Stephen King (2008). “The Stand”, p.454, Hachette UK
  • the only mortal sin is giving up.

    Stephen King (2016). “Skeleton Crew”, p.428, Simon and Schuster
  • I always like to see enlightened parents like that; it gives me hope for the future.

    Stephen King (2016). “Christine”, p.55, Simon and Schuster
  • One night when my longing for her was like a fire burning out of control in my heart and my head, I wrote her a letter that just seemed to go on and on. I poured out my whole heart in it, never looking back to see what I'd said because I was afraid cowardice would make me stop. I didn't stop, and when a voice in my head clamored that it would be madness to mail such a letter, that I would be giving her my naked heart to hold in her hand, I ignored it with a child's breathless disregard of the consequences.

  • In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. Quiet Dell will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity.

  • Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.

    Stephen King (2009). “Stephen King Goes to the Movies”, p.140, Simon and Schuster
  • There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. One kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other kind of evil is predestined evil. It falls on you like a stroke of lightning. That's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. I gotta worry whether or not I'm getting cavities. I gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. Those are things I can change. Don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. If that hits me I just say, "That's probably the way God meant it to be."

    Fall  
  • The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen

    Lying  
    Stephen King (2008). “The Stand”, p.1452, Anchor
  • But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.

    Stephen King (2016). “Thinner”, p.149, Simon and Schuster
  • Come to a book as you would come to an unexplored land. Come without a map. Explore it, and draw your own map.... A book is like a pump. It gives nothing unless first you give to it.

    Book  
    Stephen King (1999). “Hearts In Atlantis”, p.37, Simon and Schuster
  • It's dialogue that gives your cast their voices, and is crucial in defining their characters.

    Stephen King (2002). “On Writing”, p.178, Simon and Schuster
  • They walked back into the world together, wearing the gift that had been given them: just life. Pity was not love, Barbie reflected...but if you were a child, giving clothes to someone who was naked had to be a step in the right direction.

    Stephen King (2014). “Under the Dome: Part 2: A Novel”, p.599, Simon and Schuster
  • I like to write short stories more because I never met a writer who wasn't lazy. And a short story is, by its very definition, short. It is something that generally you can turn out in a week to two weeks depending on how well it goes for you. But, at the same time, it gives the same satisfaction of creating a complete world.
