Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other cre... - Stephen King

"I think that we're all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better - and maybe not all that much better after all."

"When asked, "How do you write?"I invariably answer, "One word at a time,"and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope."

"The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid; a good tale belongs to each reader in its own particular way."

"Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule."

"If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot."
