More quotes by Dean Koontz
In the wind, the trees, like agitated lions preparing to roar, shook their great green manes.
Dean Koontz
If something in your writing gives support to people in their lives, that’s more than just entertainment-w hich is what we writers all struggle to do, to touch people.
Dean Koontz
A man begins dying at the moment of his birth. Most People live in denial of Death's patient courtship until, late in life and deep in sickness, they become aware of him sitting bedside.
Dean Koontz
Intuition is seeing with the soul.
Dean Koontz
Atlas isn't carrying the world on his shoulders, no giant muscular hulk with a sense of responsibility the world is balanced on a pyramid of clowns, and they are always tooting horns and wobbling and goosing each other.
Dean Koontz
Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have the faith to see it. Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always in the soul. In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.
Dean Koontz
The things we worry about the most are never the things that bite us. The sharpest teeth always take their nip of us when we are looking the other way.
Dean Koontz
The true nature of the world was weirder than any bizarre fabric that anyone might weave from the warp and weft of imagination's loom.
Dean Koontz
Lots of people are unable to see all kinds of truths right in front of their eyes. The world is what we make it, and our future is ours to shape.
Dean Koontz
The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
Dean Koontz
I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work.
Dean Koontz
I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.
Dean Koontz
I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Dean Koontz
In the end, it's all about perseverance.
Dean Koontz
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
Dean Koontz
The rain wasn't the usual glittering silver, but dark and dirty, as if nature were a scrubwoman wringing out a filthy mop.
Dean Koontz
The world is full of broken people. Splints, casts, miracle drugs, and time can't mend fractured hearts, wounded hearts, wounded minds, torn spirits.
Dean Koontz
Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.
Dean Koontz
Life without meaning cannot be borne. We find a mission to which we're sworn -or answer the call of Death's dark horn. Without a gleaning of purpose in life, we have no vision, we live in strife, -or let blood fall on a suicide knife.
Dean Koontz
I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.
