More quotes by Dean Koontz

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
What does worry accomplish except to breed more worry?
Dean Koontz
Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.
Dean Koontz
Recognizing the structure of your psychology doesn't mean that you can easily rebuild it.
Dean Koontz
If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.
Dean Koontz
I always enjoyed the kids, but I didn't enjoy the bureaucracy of the educational system.
Dean Koontz
All but universally, human architecture values front elevations over back entrances, public spaces over private. Danny Jessup says that this aspect of architecture is also a reflection of human nature, that most people care more about their appearance than they do about their souls.
Dean Koontz
That's all that matters, really: that we can make each other feel better.

After once having made the mistake of watching television news, I had worried for a while about an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out human civilization. The anchorwoman had said it was not merely possible but probable. At the end of the report, she smiled.

Not all or even most suffering is at the hands of fate it befalls us at our invitation.
