If ever there was a list of quotes we wanted to do, this is it - Stephen King quotes. So, with slightly trembling hands and hearts filled with excitement, we’ve compiled it, tried to write an intro that’s not over-the-top exuberant, and now are leaving it to your, dear readers, judgment. Ready to take a look at the most excellent, heavily inspiring, and totally powerful quotes from Stephen King, only the most accomplished storyteller if there ever was one?
If you haven’t had the chance to read any of Stephen King’s books yet or know nothing about the King of Horror himself, here are a few cool facts about him. Mister King has written hundreds of literary pieces, with 49 novels under his name, seven more under his pen names, five non-fiction books, and around 200 short stories. And all of them are better than the last!
Stephen King was certain that his fame was completely accidental and thus started to write books under his pen name. When they got just as popular as the ones written under his real name, the writer gave up and admitted that his popularity wasn’t, after all, an accident. And lastly, once upon in 1996, King collaborated with Michael Jackson himself to create a short horror movie together. Oh, and since we’ve mentioned movies, there are at least 91 of them based on King’s works. So, if you’re not a huge fan of reading, you can experience this master’s writing through cinema. Beware, though; they are definitely spooky!
Speaking of these powerful quotes here - some of them come from interviews with the writer, while others are book quotes from his famous novels. So while they weren’t technically spoken by him, they still came from his very own head, which makes them totally count. After all, some of the best Stephen King quotes do come from his writings, rather than public speeches!
Anyhoo, we’ll never be as good as the Master of Horror at this writing gig (although quotes from Stephen King on writing do help a lot), so it’s best to end our love-filled intro to this long-awaited quotes list right about now.
