Covers of Pet Sematary, The Gunslinger and The Jaunt by Stephen King
Longtime Constant Readers of Stephen King all have their favorite quotes from his books and short stories, but some of the king's quotes are iconic among the rest. If an author is lucky, they'll have a few gems of a line in their careers by the time they call it quits.
9 “Death is when the monsters got you.” 'Salem's Lot Close Unsurprisingly, many of Stephen King's most memorable quotes are related to death - it's impossible not to when his characters spend so much time with it. But King has always also had a knack for writing children, especially the way children understand and accept the nightmares of the world in a way adults have lost. Mark Petrie certainly does in 'Salem's Lot.
7 "Go then, there are other worlds than these." The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Close There are a few Dark Tower quotes that have become seared in readers' brains thanks to their timing in the larger story or their meaning for the whole. One of those quotes comes from Jake Chambers, just before Roland allows Jake to plunge to his death, such is his desire not to lose his pursuit of the man in black in The Gunslinger.
Related This Scene Is The Scariest Of Any Stephen King Book I've Ever Read Of the dozens and dozens of Stephen King novels and short stories I've read, one scene has stuck with me as being the most horrifying he's written. Protagonist Andy Dufresne, unlike the other characters, knows that hope isn't something that just comes to you; it's something you have to cultivate. Every day, each person has to wake up and choose to believe things will get better, that they can change things, to refill that well of hope. Anything else is just a slow death by degrees of attrition. It's the surprising hopefulness in the midst of what might be bleakness that makes it such a formative quote.
