When a knot gets to tight, you can always cut the rope

In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.

If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.
Dean Koontz
Image
What most people find important, you do not. This is Wisdom. To what you believe is important, you are ready to give your mind, heart, and soul. This is Grace.
Dean Koontz
Image
While I like people, I do also like being alone in a room and seeing what you can do with a particular theme or subject.
Dean Koontz
Image
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.

Image
The dead are merely the countrymen of my future.

The retriever took each bit of meat from his master's hand with a delicacy almost equal to that of a hummingbird sipping sugar water from a garden feeder, and when it was all gone, he gazed up at Dusty with an adoration that could not have been much less than the love with which the angels regard God.

These days, people spent too much time striving to understand their feelings - and then ended up with none that were genuine.
Dean Koontz
Image
All I ask of Fate is that the people she hurls into my life, whether they are evil or good, or morally bipolar, should be amusing to one degree or another.... The problem is finding smile-inducing evil people, because the evil are the most humorless, though in the movies they frequently get some of the best lines.

Intuition is seeing with the soul.
Dean Koontz
Image
Humanity was drawn to turmoil and self-destruction as inevitably as the earth was drawn to complete its annual revolution of the sun.
Dean Koontz
Image
I admit to having an imagination feverish enough to melt good judgment.
Dean Koontz
Image
The less depth a belief system has, the greater the fervency with which its adherents embrace it. The most vociferous, the most fanatical are those whose cobbled faith is founded on the shakiest grounds.
Dean Koontz
Image
No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
Image
If I waited until I felt creative, I would never have had a career. I long ago learned that a day that starts out badly, when nothing comes out on the page or comes out wrong, can suddenly turn into a good day a few hours later, when suddenly everything starts to click. The brain can be cajoled into being creative.

Even if God exists, does He know that you do?
Dean Koontz
Image
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.

In the wind, the trees, like agitated lions preparing to roar, shook their great green manes.
