All of this was well meaning bullshit. But bullshit is still bullshit and will never be mistaken for McDonald's secret sauce. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
I snagged a golden paper crown from one of the bags, and idly joined it into a circle and put it on my head. Susan blinked at me and let out a brief laugh. 'I am' I intoned with an imperious narrowing of my eyes, 'the burger king. ~ Jim Butcher
King quotes by Jim Butcher
Duny," said Geralt seriously, "Calanthe, Pavetta. And you, righteous knight Tuirseach, future king of Cintra. In order to become a witcher, you have to be born in the shadow of destiny, and very few are born like that. That's why there are so few of us. We're growing old, dying, without anyone to pass our knowledge, our gifts, on to. We lack successors. And this world is full of Evil which waits for the day none of us are left." "Geralt," whispered Calanthe. "Yes, you're not wrong, queen. Duny! You will give me that which you already have but do not know. I'll return to Cintra in six years to see if destiny has been kind to me. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
King quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
I'd say that what I do is like a crack in the mirror. If you go back over the books from Carrie on up, what you see is an observation of ordinary middle-class American life as it's lived at the time that particular book was written. In every life you get to a point where you have to deal with something that's inexplicable to you, whether it's the doctor saying you have cancer or a prank phone call. So whether you talk about ghosts or vampires or Nazi war criminals living down the block, we're still talking about the same thing, which is an intrusion of the extraordinary into ordinary life and how we deal with it. What that shows about our character and our interactions with others and the society we live in interests me a lot more than monsters and vampires and ghouls and ghosts. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Age looked at youth, and youth's applause first weakened, then died. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
John's eyes turned to me ... I saw no resignation in them, no hope of heaven, no drawing peace. How I would love to tell you that I did. How I would love to tell myself that.
What I saw was misery ... fear, incompletion and incomprehension. They were the eyes of a trapped and terrified animal.
(The Green Mile/Paul Edgecomb character) ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
To me, the capacity to earn money has never been a measurement of success. It is my belief that people must develop a philosophy early in life which permits them to have as much pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction now as is possible without injuring themselves or others. Money can help to do this, but it is not and must not become the sole aim of a person's existence. We all know what happened to King Midas. ~ Rudy Vallee
King quotes by Rudy Vallee
Sometimes you've gotta stand up for yourself, even when you know you ain't got a chance. ~ Sara King
King quotes by Sara King
The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King. ~ Timothy Keller
King quotes by Timothy Keller
When the injunction was issued in Birmingham, our failure to obey it bewildered our opponents. They did not know what to do. We did not hide our intentions. In fact, I announced our plan to the press, pointing out that we were not anarchists advocating lawlessness, but that it was obvious to us that the courts of Alabama had misused the judicial process in order to perpetuate injustice and segregation. Consequently, we could not, in good conscience, obey their findings. I intended to be one of the first to set ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Hungarian ministry begged the king earnestly to issue orders to all troops and commanders of fortresses in Hungary, enjoining fidelity to the Constitution, and obedience to the ministers of Hungary. ~ Lajos Kossuth
King quotes by Lajos Kossuth
bludgeoning countless typewriter ribbons, ~ Gilbert King
King quotes by Gilbert King
Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate. ~ John King
King quotes by John King
It's not painful to relive it. I'm comfortable with my position in American history. ~ Rodney King
King quotes by Rodney King
We are wooed, then mocked, plagued like Amfortas, King of the Grail Knights, by a wound refusing heal. ~ Patti Smith
King quotes by Patti Smith
A prince, in the turn of a moment and a few words, was now a king. ~ Mary E. Pearson
King quotes by Mary E. Pearson
There was an abyss. And books contained magical incantations to raise what was hidden there, all the great mysteries. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
I could tell you that dying's an art / and I am learning fast. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
A broken spoon may be a fork in disguise. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
What babe new born is this that in a manger cries? Near on her lowly bed his happy mother lies. Oh, see the air is shaken with white and heavenly wings
This is the Lord of all the earth, this is the King of Kings. ~ Richard Watson Gilder
King quotes by Richard Watson Gilder
As for she's concerned the world has two king of people in it: predators and prey. ~ Claudia Gray
King quotes by Claudia Gray
The first truth about mortals is that none of us wants to die, but all of us are going to. It's in the name – mortals – the dying ones. If you don't understand that bit, you won't understand the rest of it. Here you are, some 5-hundred years old and you haven't yet figured out something that a 3 year old human is starting to understand. You see, as soon as we can even think, our brains are wrapping themselves around that One Truth, that one offensive, undeniable, irrevocable Truth. The rest of our existence grows up in the shadow of a dead leaning tree, which will at one point in the not unimaginable future fall and crush all that has grown up beneath it…



…Rescue them for what? Why from dying! Does that mean they won't die? No, it just means they won't die today. At best, we're talking about delaying the inevitable death sentence laid on our friends. Now how does this particular truth strike you, Mister Immortal…?



…And why? Why not merely stand now and fall sooner rather than later? Because there is something precious and sacred about rearguard action. It's an active retreat that's been repeated valiantly and ceaselessly from the beginning of mortal time. It just seems wrong to give up. It seems invalid and invalorous. More importantly, it's indecent to simply lie down and be overrun…



…Instead we rage against it and sing our defiance through bloodied teeth. Somehow, in our pointless battle, we find moment ~ J. Robert King
King quotes by J. Robert King
Why should the brave Spanish soldiers brag? The sunne never sets in the Spanish dominions, but ever shineth on one part or other we have conquered for our king. ~ John Smith
King quotes by John Smith
Do you really think cards can tell us future??
No matter how you spread the cards but queen is always king ones..!! ~ Nikhil
King quotes by Nikhil
Black Power alone is no more insurance against social injustice than white power. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
She went up to his bedroom door and listened to the wildly twanging bed springs as they reached a crescendo as they built toward a finale worthy of Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King ~ John Kennedy Toole
King quotes by John Kennedy Toole
It's hard to deny that an alarming number of those who stood for peace, not war, were either killed by deranged lone gunmen or else died in suspicious circumstances. We refer of course to the likes of JFK, Martin Luther King, Benazir Bhutto, Bobby Kennedy and John Lennon, to name but a few. ~ James Morcan
King quotes by James Morcan
I still love the music and it's still plays a part in what I do but I never 'turned my back' on garage. I was always doing R&B with, say, Walking Away. It's wonderful that I was classed as the king of 2-step and a pioneer, but it's had its turn, I think. ~ Craig David
King quotes by Craig David
It is always the right time to do the right thing. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Even if you are poor, you can still receive the inheritances from the King! ~ Jayce O'Neal
King quotes by Jayce O'Neal
Larry woke up with a hangover that was not too bad, a mouth that tasted as if a baby dragon had used it for a potty chair ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Unless you are Stephen King, a book signing is attended by maybe 40 or 50 people. ~ Dana Stabenow
King quotes by Dana Stabenow
You will be on of those gods without magic powers. What are they called? King. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
King quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
You have only to lift your hand,' Thorkel Fostri said. And after a moment, 'What else were you born for?'
'Why not happiness, like other men? Thorfinn said.
'You have that,' said his foster-father. 'But if you try to trap it, it will change. Why do you resist? It is your right.'
'I resist because it is no use resisting,' Thorfinn said. 'Do you not think that is unfair? I shall be King because I was King; and I shall die because I did die; and did I remember them, I could even tell what are the three ways it might befall me. ~ Dorothy Dunnett
King quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
The Chinese, you know, believe that deep within each of us, no larger than the ball of your thumb, is the garden of the immortals, the great valley where we are all king forever. ~ John Crowley
King quotes by John Crowley
My obsession is with the macabre. I didn't write any of the stories which follow for money, although some of them were sold to magazines before they appeared here and I never once returned a cheque uncashed. I may be obsessional but I'm not crazy. Yet I repeat: I didn't write them for money; I wrote them because it occurred to me to write them. I have a marketable obsession. There are madmen and madwomen in padded cells the world over who are not so lucky. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don't think he is not capable of hurting you. ~ Ron Livingston
King quotes by Ron Livingston
When I was preparing for one term's work in the Botvinnik school I had to spend a lot of time on king and pawn endings. So when I came to a tricky position in my own games I knew the winning method. ~ Garry Kasparov
King quotes by Garry Kasparov
Borrowing other people's culture and adopting other people's way of life does destroy nation's self-respect which is the greatest asset a true citizen can enjoy more than food and clothes, more than all amenities and more than military glory. You can adopt a system of government and a way of life, but can you adopt the past history, travail and tradition out of which that system of government and a way of life were evolved? Can we adopt King Charles, King John, Magna Carta and civil wars and Cromwell as our own? They can always say "We evolved a system and a way of life", but we must always sing in refrain, "We borrowed them". Adopting a culture is not the same as adopting the use of a gadget. It is like tying other peoples' mangoes to your tree, while plucking and throwing away your own. How absurd! ~ Manasa Rao
King quotes by Manasa Rao
Poison ivy, because who needed a case of that on your pecker). We're all here in Derry. No camp, no relatives, no vacations, no AWAY. All right here. Present and accounted for. There's ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
No, of course you don't think that is possible. You look at my face and you see a monster. You look at my hands and see them covered with the blood you ordered me to spill. But I tell you, Cap, it will happen. The girl has had no friend for going on two years. She has had her father and that is all. You see her as you see me, Cap. It is your great failing. You look, you see a monster. Only in the girl's case, you see a useful monster. Perhaps that is because you are a white man. White men see monsters everywhere. White men look at their own pricks and see monsters. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Like the good Reverend King
I too 'have a dream'
but when I wake up
I forget it and
remember I'm running late for work. ~ Paul Beatty
King quotes by Paul Beatty
Then there was David, lording it up at Buckingham Palace, thinking he was king of the shit heap. That guy was definitely nuts, like every dictator that had gone before him. Nero, Caligula, Henry the Eighth, Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Margaret Thatcher, Colonel Gaddafi, that crazy North Korean bastard who was in Team America, Kim Jong whatever. ~ Charlie Higson
King quotes by Charlie Higson
I believe with all my heart, that Magnus is a worthy and superior successor to your current king. Therefore, I ask today that you reject Gaius Damora as your leader and take Prince Magnus as your new king. He will right the wrongs that have overtaken Mytica. And he will make Gaius Damora pay for all he has destroyed. ~ Morgan Rhodes
King quotes by Morgan Rhodes
and he became a communist. He was court-martialed but allowed to resign from the army. In the revolutions of 1848 he fought to overthrow his king and, failing, fled to America. There he became first a carpenter and then the editor of a German-language newspaper in Cincinnati with a slant so leftist he earned the nickname "Reddest of the Red." When the Civil War came, Willich recruited fifteen hundred Cincinnati Germans within a matter of hours and helped organize the Ninth Ohio-now marching with the XIV Corps. ~ Steven E. Woodworth
King quotes by Steven E. Woodworth
Those eyes filled him with the paralyzed, hopeless horror that the hen feels for the weasel. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
He had been a sailor and a sinner ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Martin Luther King is a notorious liar[] ~ John G. Schmitz
King quotes by John G. Schmitz
The brain is a muscle that can move the world. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
What happens next?" Gibson found he was curious too. They finished The Return of the King two years later, and in the process, Gibson became a reader. Something ~ Matthew FitzSimmons
King quotes by Matthew FitzSimmons
Boots in January are always a good look, and some of the cutest ones I've seen lately were designed by Ivanka Trump, who knows a thing or two about style. ~ Gayle King
King quotes by Gayle King
I've been worried about you, she says when they're settled in the kitchen. She has the bright, inquisitive gaze of a crow with its eye on a freshly squashed chipmunk. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Beauty is a King that needs to be obeyed ~ Nuh Ha Mim Keller
King quotes by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past; repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place. ~ J.I. Packer
King quotes by J.I. Packer
poker hand which includes a king, queen and jack, all three face cards that appear to be 'looking at you'. ~ Anupama Chopra
King quotes by Anupama Chopra
I did an interview once where I was asked who I found attractive and I went on about cartoons and Nala from 'The Lion King' - and it's a bit weird but various of my ex-girlfriends actually did look like Nala. ~ Eddie Redmayne
King quotes by Eddie Redmayne
Most of us remember Nat King Cole as a vocalist. His warm, grainy baritone is still so closely identified with such familiar ballads as 'Stardust' and 'The Christmas Song' that it's hard to imagine anyone else performing them. ~ Terry Teachout
King quotes by Terry Teachout
Over the years, a lot of rappers - Lil' Wayne, Ice Cube - have used my name in their songs. I'm a real touchstone of history. ~ Rodney King
King quotes by Rodney King
In a speech given at an academic conference at Yale University in 1972, Fred Rogers said, "The impact of television must be considered in the light of the possibility that children are exposed to experiences which may be far beyond what their egos can deal with effectively. Those of us who produce television must assume the responsibility for providing images of trustworthy available adults who will modulate these experiences and attempt to keep them within manageable limits." Which is exactly what Rogers himself had tried to do with the production of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. ~ Maxwell King
King quotes by Maxwell King
Fore more than a decade - from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s - conservatives systematically and strategically linked opposition to civil rights legislation to calls for law and order, arguing that Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of civil disobedience was a leading cause of crime. Civil rights protests were frequently depicted as criminal rather than political in nature, and federal courts were accused of excessive 'lenience' toward lawlessness, thereby contributing to the spread of crime. ~ Michelle Alexander
King quotes by Michelle Alexander
Was it pretty? Your country ... your land?" "It was beautiful," the gunslinger said. "There were fields and forests and rivers and mists in the morning. But that's only pretty. My mother used to say that the only real beauty is order and love and light. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo. ~ Nick Cave
King quotes by Nick Cave
Nae king! Nae quin! We will nae be fooled agin! ~ Terry Pratchett
King quotes by Terry Pratchett
In an Empire where rats ruled, he was the king of the rats. ~ Agatha Christie
King quotes by Agatha Christie
Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
What if I can't find it? What if I can't find that particular pumping-station? The breath tore in and out of his lungs, hot and bloody-tasting in the back of his throat. A stitch was sinking into his side. His buttocks sang where the rock had hit him. Beverly had said Henry and his friends meant to kill them, and Ben believed it now, yes he did. He came to ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political and economic change. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
If Richard Branson had worn a pair of steel-rimmed glasses, a double-breasted suit and shaved off his beard, I would have taken him seriously. As it was I couldn't ... ~ John King, Baron King Of Wartnaby
King quotes by John King, Baron King Of Wartnaby
Life would be vanilla ice cream without 31 flavors of individuality. ~ Heather King
King quotes by Heather King
You did not take what was mine and not expect to pay in blood, sweat, or pussy.
I have missed the fuck out of you King!! ~ T.M. Frazier
King quotes by T.M. Frazier
There are always a few sad souls who want to be king. ~ Neil T. Anderson
King quotes by Neil T. Anderson
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything. There are times when cash buys more than other times, and this is one of the other times when it buys a fair amount more, so we use it. ~ Howard Warren Buffett
King quotes by Howard Warren Buffett
Even so; an't please your worship, Brakenbury,
You may partake of any thing we say:
We speak no treason, man; we say the King
Is wise and virtuous, and his noble queen
Well struck in years, fair, and not jealous;
We say that Shore's wife hath a pretty foot,
A cherry lip, a bonny eye, a passing pleasing tongue;
And that the Queen's kindred are made gentlefolks. ~ William Shakespeare
King quotes by William Shakespeare
Animal rights activists gives disillusioned feminists an excuse to go back to being women protecting wee creatures without compromising their radical credentials ~ Florence King
King quotes by Florence King
help us to live with more confidence that Jesus is the Good Shepherd, not a consulting partner; a very present Lord, not an absentee landlord; the reigning King, not an impotent bystander. ~ Scotty Smith
King quotes by Scotty Smith
It's wetter than a taco fart down there and just as smelly," Mr. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
People need jobs, people need happy and successful lives; there should be marriage between one man and one woman, there should the value of person from conception until natural death. ~ Alveda King
King quotes by Alveda King
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were ... sort of ... bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical. ~ Terry Pratchett
King quotes by Terry Pratchett
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Protestantism's evolution away from hierarchy and authority has enormous consequences for America and the world. On the one hand, the democratization of religion runs parallel to political democratization. The king of England, questioning the pope, inspires English subjects to question the king and his Anglican bishops. Such dissent is backed up by a Bible full of handy Scripture arguing for arguing with one's kIng. This is the root of self-government in the English-speaking world. ~ Sarah Vowell
King quotes by Sarah Vowell
Men! She could not understand why so many women feared them. Hadn't the gods made them with the most vulnerable part of their guts hanging right out of their bodies, like a misplaced bit of bowel? Kick them there and they curled up like snails. Caress them there and their brains melted. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
To extend God's kingdom is to seek advancement of the king through love ~ Sunday Adelaja
King quotes by Sunday Adelaja
My own gut feeling is that everyone's psychic ... and it's so ingrained a part of us that we very rarely notice it. The talent may be largely preventative, and that keeps it from being noticed, too. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
God is with us to be utilized. His Power, His Love, His Thought, His Love, His Thought, His Presence must be at our disposal, like other great forces, such as sunshine and wind and rain. We can use them or not, as we please. We can use them in proportion to our ability. ~ Basil King
King quotes by Basil King
Then this is for you," Galahad said, and drew a knife from the pouch at his belt. It was an odd little thing, T-hilted and small enough to fit into a woman's hand. Its translucent blade, only an inch and a half long, was bound with scrolling bronze wire to the bone hilt. "Have a care. Obsidian is sharper than anything else in the world, sharp enough to make sunlight bleed. ~ Suzannah Rowntree
King quotes by Suzannah Rowntree
So spake Israel's true king, and to the Fiend
Made answer meet, that made void all his wiles.
So fares it, when with truth falsehood contends. ~ John Milton
King quotes by John Milton
emotionally delicate and eminently bruisable, teenagers ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
But these aren't just stories," she'd said. "They're whole kingdoms. They're worlds. They're perspectives and opinions you can't offer, from lives you haven't lived. They're more valuable than any gold coin, and more important than any state luncheon. I should hope you, as king, would know that! ~ Melissa De La Cruz
King quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
I'll be Burger King and you be McDonald's. I'll have it my way and you'll be lovin' it! ~ Vi Keeland
King quotes by Vi Keeland
I'm happiest in an empty church. I love the smell of a church. ~ Michael Patrick King
King quotes by Michael Patrick King
There is power in a King's blood. ~ George R R Martin
King quotes by George R R Martin
When I marched with Martin Luther King in Selma, I felt my legs were praying. ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
King quotes by Abraham Joshua Heschel
I understand that each one of us works at a different speed, and has a slightly different process. I understand that these writers are painstaking, wanting each sentence-each word-to carry weight ... I know it's not laziness, but respect for the work, and I understand from my own work that haste makes waste. But I also understand that life is short, and that in the end, none of us is prolific. The creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. William Shakespeare, for instance, hasn't produced a new play for 400 years. That, my friends, is a long dry spell. ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where #Christian love is a reality. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
King quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
As a sign of utmost gratitude for his contributions to the Indian society in restoring equal rights of the citizens, I confer him (B.R. Ambedkar) the title "Martin Luther King Jr. of India. ~ Abhijit Naskar
King quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I hear my father; I need never fear.
I hear my mother; I shall never be lonely, or want for love.
When I am hungry it is they who provide for me; when I am in dismay, it is they who fill me with comfort.
When I am astonished or bewildered, it is they who make the weak ground firm beneath my soul: it is in them that I put my trust.
When I am sick it is they who send for the doctor; when I am well and happy, it is in their eyes that I know best that I am loved; and it is towards the shining of their smiles that I lift up my heart and in their laughter that I know my best delight.
I hear my father and my mother and they are my giants, my king and my queen, beside whom there are not others so wise or worthy or honorable or brave or beautiful in this world.
I need never fear: nor ever shall I lack for loving-kindness. ~ James Agee
King quotes by James Agee
And it was told that as soon as Poseidon saw the young Goddess, who looked no more than eighteen years of age, by human reckoning, passion immediately overwhelmed him. Unlike all the other Goddesses & Nymphs of the Sea, Aphrodite was not naked. She wore a huge girdle around her slender waist which covered her breasts & her hips as well as her crotch & buttocks. And, thus, instead of impaling her with his trident, Poseidon was overcome with curiosity as to what she hid beneath her girdle. He thus introduced himself as the King & Sheriff of the Seas & told the young Goddess that, as such, no secrets should be kept from him by all those who wished to live in the sea. He would therefore request that she removed the girdle to show him what she hid beneath it. ~ Nicholas Chong
King quotes by Nicholas Chong
All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one ... ~ Stephen King
King quotes by Stephen King
Beware the wooden horse, Agamemnon King, Conqueror, for it will roar to the skies on wings of thunder and herald the death of nations. ~ David Gemmell
King quotes by David Gemmell
I don't think there's anything sweeter on God's green earth than scaring the living shit out of people. ~ Stephen King
