More quotes by Dean Koontz
I have learned a great deal from novels. Some of it is even true.
Dean Koontz
Recognizing the structure of your psychology doesn't mean that you can easily rebuild it.
Dean Koontz
All human lives are so profoundly and intricately entwined-those dead, those living, those generations yet to come-that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.
Dean Koontz
No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
His blue eyes were seas where sorrow sailed.
Dean Koontz
...at it's best fiction is medicine.
Dean Koontz
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.
Dean Koontz
If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.
Dean Koontz
What has been is no more. Change has come.
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
She lived for others, her heart tuned to their anguish and their needs.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.
Dean Koontz
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
Don't tell me what's necessary, you presumptupus pup. What's necessary is whatever I wish to do, regardless of how unnecessary it might be.
Dean Koontz
I do give books as gifts sometimes, when people would rather have one than a new Ferrari.
Dean Koontz
But once an idea for a novel seizes a writer...well, it’s like an inner fire that at first warms you and makes you feel good but then begins to eat you alive, burn you up from within. You can’t just walk away from the fire it keeps burning. The only way to put it out is to write the book.
Dean Koontz
Each book is a mind alive, a life revealed, a world awaiting exploration, but living people are all those things, as well—and more, because their stories haven’t yet been completely told.
Dean Koontz
As long as I have laughter, I am not without hope
Dean Koontz
