Stephen King Quotes

In spite of everything, I shall rise again

There are moments when I feel like giving up or giving in, but I soon rally again and do my duty as I see it: to keep the spark of life inside me ablaze.

You can't lose confidence in yourself, or you've lost already. When you get knocked down, you've got to keep getting back up.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.

When you are knocked down you have two choices - stay down or get back up, stronger.

Hope and faith. You have to have hope and faith... Long ways to go. Grateful to survive. I's frustrating. Mentally hard. Hard work. I'm trying. Trying so hard to get better. Regain what I've lost... I will get stronger. I will return.

Getting knocked down in life is a given. Getting up and moving forward is a choice.

It's incredibly touching when someone who seems so hopeless finds a few inches of light to stand in and makes everything work as well as possible. All of us lurch and fall, sit in the dirt, are helped to our feet, keep moving, feel like idiots, lose our balance, gain it, help others get back on their feet, and keep going.

If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.

I surprise myself that I'm not dead in the gutter somewhere, surprised that I haven't given up.

When people tell you you're on the brink of death, you've got to dig pretty deep to get it together.

Tough times don't last, tough people do, remember?

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

If you're actually talking to someone who's been through a disastrous number of years, that only means one thing: They survived it.

It takes a lot of energy and creativity to make such screwed up lives carry on. And the kind of will people have to survive, year after year, dealing with that stuff, is weirdly impressive.

'A Child Called It' was a story about resilience, it was never about boo hoo hoo, it was about a kid that didn't quit.

I am a survivor and not a victim. Life isn't perfect. When you get a knock, you have to get up, dust yourself down and get on with it.

My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.

The secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to because if you're really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.

When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

I am determined to go through the horror of this world.

I think I'm one of life's copers. And picking myself up and dusting myself off and starting all over again is one of my mottoes, actually.
