"I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses." ― Stephen King Topic(s): Funny Tags: guess More From Stephen King "We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it’s all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can’t change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed." "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."

Although, it’s funny, actually, some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. ‘London Fields’ is one of my favorite books ever. And it’s indefensible! But he’s so funny… I forgive him everything."― Elizabeth Gilbert
