Life Lessons Quote by Stephen King — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile is so long.”

“Life is more than just steering a course around pain.”

“It's a hard life if you don't weaken.”

“The souls of humans have become poor and transparent things.”

“Last reason for reading horror: it’s a rehearsal for death. It’s a way to get ready. People say there’s nothing sure but death and taxes. But that’s not really true. There’s really only death, you know. Death is the biggie. Two hundred years from now, none of us are going to be here. We’re all going to be someplace else. Maybe a better place, maybe a worse place; it may be sort of like New Jersey, but someplace else. The same thing can be said of rabbits and mice and dogs, but we’re in a very uncomfortable position: we’re the only creatures—at least as far as we know, though it may be true of dolphins and whales and a few other mammals that have very big brains—who are able to contemplate our own end. We know it’s going to happen. The electric train goes around and around and it goes under and around the tunnels and over the scenic mountains, but in the end it always goes off the end of the table. Crash.”

“Ensure that everything around you inspires you to succeed, and steer clear of those who sow negative seeds.”

“You ought to stop listening to stereotypes and start forming your own opinions.”

“I welcome questions. I hate assumptions.”

“When a door closes on you, avoid dwelling on negativity. Cultivate a positive attitude, pick yourself up, and step through better doors.”

“There’s a lot of things one can’t understand,’ Moominmamma said to herself. ‘But why should everything be exactly as one is used to having it?”

“Life stings. It can bite and claw and kick you when you’re down. It can lift you up in celebration and clutch your heart until you think it’ll rip from your chest. It’s glorious and wonderful and oh so devastating. We sing and we laugh and we dance until we can move no more, and it’s all worth it. Every single piece. Every single part. Because life isn’t made up of the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.”
