Stephen King Quotes on Humor

8 quotes

  2. He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?

  3. M-O-O-N, that spells ILLEGAL!

  4. Jordy Verrill: [upon first viewing the meteor] Whoo! I be dipped in hogshit if that ain't a meteor!

  5. It's probably wrong to believe there can be any limit to the horror which the human mind can experience. On the contrary, it seems that some exponential effect begins to obtain as deeper and deeper darkness falls - as little as one may like to support the idea that when the nightmare grows black enough, horror spawns horror, one coincidental evil begets other, often more deliberate evils, until finally blackness seems to cover everything. And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity. That such events have their own Rube Goldberg absurdity goes almost without saying. At some point, it all starts to become rather funny. That may be the point at which sanity begins either to save itself or to buckle and break down; that point at which one's sense of humor begins to reassert itself.

  6. 'Your name is John Coffey.' 'Yes, sir, boss, like the drink only not spelled the same way.'

  7. People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy... It is in a glass jar on my desk.

  8. You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
