tegan-leblanc asked: Thank you for such a wonderful blog :)
addledbrain asked: Hello, fellow Stephen King fans! I'm glad this blog exists; I wrote my undergraduate thesis on Pet Sematary and The Shining and it was a lot of fun--I may even turn it into a doctoral dissertation someday, we'll see! Anyway, I just started working for the library group at Cambridge University Press and I've been put in charge of the twitter (@Cambridgelib) and I would really...

anybodywannapeanut asked: So I don't know if it's already been said on here, but Stephen King is writing a sequel to The Shining, called Dr. Sleep! :) Oh and of course, he's got 11/22/63 coming out soon :D I'm a major fan, as in I own and have read everything he's written, including the not-well-known Cycles of the Werewolf :)
arrsee asked: Not reading. :( Studying for an exam... staring at the last chunk of the 7th Dark Tower book that I want so much to get through.. Sigh!

Hearts in Atlantis
It was his first real kiss, too, and Bobby never forgot the feel of her lips pressing on his — dry and smooth and warmed by the sun. It was the kiss by which all the others of his life would be judged and found wanting.

My Favorite Quote
“Why must you hurt me, when I love you so? When I can do nothing else nor want to, for love made me and fed me… and kept me in better days? …Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask.”— The Dark Tower VII.

“Grab onto my arm now. Hold tight. We are going into a number of dark places, but I think I know the way. Just don’t let go of my arm. And if I should kiss you in the dark, it’s no big deal; it’s only because you are my love.”
(Skeleton Crew)
“I will wait for you.”

“Life is short and pain is long and we were all put on this earth to help each other.” -Firestarter
“People ask me why I do this. Why I write such gross stuff. I tell them I have the heart of a small boy, and I keep it in a jar on my desk.” - Stephen King.
“As his arms went around her, she wondered how much of the human race understood...”
– Rose Madder
Alone. Yes, that’s the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn’t hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym…— Matt Burke - ‘Salem’s Lot
”There’s a lot they don’t tell you about death, and one of the things is how long it takes the ones you love most to die in your heart. It’s a secret, and it should be, because who would ever want to get close to another person if they knew how hard the letting go part was? In your heart, they only die a little at a time.”
-Lisey’s Story

Keep submitting your favourite Stephen King quotes...
keepyousafeinside asked: "A man's heart is stonier Louis."--Judd Crandell, Pet Sematary
Words cannot even describe how much I adore Stephen King’s works and sometimes it’s very difficult to quote them because they all have such valid and interesting things to say. However, apart from the Different Seasons quote you already posted (which I believe is from ‘The Body’), two I really like are:
“Hearts can break. Yes, hearts can break. Sometimes I think it...
one of my fav quotes:
“People shouldn’t be allowed houses with more than two toilets to shit in, it gives them delusions of grandeur.” - Scott Landon [ Lisey’s Story ]
“The glass corridor connecting the adult library to the Children’s Library suddenly exploded in a single brilliant flare of light. Glass flew out in an umbrella shape, whickering through the straining, whipping trees which dotted the library grounds. Someone could have been severely hurt or even killed by such a deadly fusillade, but there was no one there, either inside or out. The library...

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like...

“These were his friends, and his mother was wrong: they weren’t bad friends. Maybe, he thought, there aren’t any such things as good friends or bad friends—maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they’re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for, too, if that’s what has to be....
Full Dark, No Stars:1922.
“Here is something I learned in 1922: there are always worse things waiting. You think you have seen the most terrible thing, the one that coalesces all your nightmares into a freakish horror that actually exists, and the only consolation is that there can be nothing worse. Even if there is, your mind wil snap at the sight of it, and you will know no more. But there is worse, your mind does...
