Quotes by Stephen King
"In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness."
Stephen King
"Get busy living, or get busy dying."
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
"I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody."
"You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you."
