"God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live." - so true
Do you have any favourite ones?

Roland would have understood.
"The road to hell is paved with adverbs."
"Hi, I'm Stephen King and I wrote the damn thing!"
In Digitized Remorse
"There were more doors than one person could ever open in a lifetime, I thought.."
That's one of my favorite quotes, period.
A friend of mine sent me this message:
Read a great Stephen King quote in the Warren Zevon biography this morning. Did you know Zevon played with King's band?
Anyway, King phoned Zevon about an upcoming gig but got cut off by the answer phone, called back and left another message saying 'I wrote 'The Stand' and 'It'- you KNOW I'll have my goddamn say'
"I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged."
Roland would have understood.
“I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs”
Roland would have understood.
What's the one about having the "heart of a small boy" and keeping it in a jar on his desk? I love that one.
I wonder what the exact quote for that is and where he said it. I've seen so many versions, I don't know which one is correct.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
That was originally said by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho, among other classics.

Ahhhh. See...you can't trust everything you read on the internet.

"Put it on your tough shit list and give it to the Chaplin"
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
French is the language that turns dirt into romance.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.
I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and Fries.
No, it's not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
The devil's voice is sweet to hear.
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the "Fiction is the truth inside the lie" quote? I just can't remember in which book he wrote it....
This?or on the dedication page of It?Originally Posted by Stephen King, accepting the National Book Foundation Medal
I like the one where he says (paraphrased):
"Hey, with my writing I'm going to try to terrify you. If that doesn't work, I'll try to horrify you. If I find I can't horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud."
That right there is classic SK.
I first read it as a blurb on the back of one of those biog-type books. Feast of Fear or Bare Bones or something, but I'm pretty sure it was quoting from Danse Macabre.
