More quotes by Dean Koontz
In spite of where we were, how we had gotten here and why we had come, I felt that at this moment of our lives, this place was exactly where we belonged. We were not drifting but rising, rising toward something right and of significance.
Dean Koontz
The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion.
Dean Koontz
Human beings are such knotted, desperate pieces of work-it's a rare thing to know one completely, to the core, and still love him.
Dean Koontz
When life hands us a beutiful bouquet of flowers we stare at it in cautious expectation of a bee.
Dean Koontz
The broom wasn't as comforting as a flamethrower would have been, but it was better than a mop and certainly more threatening than a feather duster.
Dean Koontz
Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.
Dean Koontz
I have more self-doubt than any writer I've ever known.... The positive aspect of self-doubt - if you can channel it into useful activity instead of being paralyzed by it - is that by the time you reach the end of a novel, you know precisely why you made every decision in the narrative, the multiple purposes of every metaphor and image.
Dean Koontz
What doesn't quicken dies. That's an indisputable truth of life.
Dean Koontz
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
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
The biggest advice is being true to what you want to do. Don't worry if other people understand it or don't understand it. If what you're doing has merit, it will find its way.
Dean Koontz
What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.
Dean Koontz
This world, which has the potential to be Eden, is instead the hell before Hell. In our arrogance, we have made it so.
Dean Koontz
I don't write a quick draft and then revise instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.
Dean Koontz
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
Dean Koontz
When we hope, we usually hope for the wrong thing.
Dean Koontz
Always, beneath every apparent chaos, order waits to be revealed.
Dean Koontz
we must seize life because we never know how much of it remains for us, that faith is the antidote to despair and that laughter is the music of faith.
Dean Koontz
I don't mean to imply that I'm afraid of Death. I'm just not ready to go out on a date with him.
Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity. Without fear, there could be no humility, and every man would be a monster. The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
