If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or... - Stephen King

"A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder."

"It is the tale, not he who tells it."

"If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented."

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

"And people who don’t dream, who don’t have any kind of imaginative life, they must… they must go nuts. I can’t imagine that."
