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
There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
Image
We are not, however, a species that can choose the baggage with which we must travel. In spite of our best intentions, we always find that we have brought along a suitcase or two of darkness and despair.

Dean Koontz
Image
None of us can ever save himself we are the instruments of one another’s salvation, and only by the hope that we give to others do we lift ourselves out of the darkness into light.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
You can't always win arguments as a writer, but you have to just go ahead and say, well, I'm doing it that way anyway.
Dean Koontz
Image
Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.
Dean Koontz
Image
Nothing is worse than being alone on the evening of the day when one's cow has exploded.
Dean Koontz
Image
Always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us. We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.

I am no theologian. I would not be surprised, however, if Heaven proved to be a cozy kitchen, where delicious treats appeared in the oven and in the refrigerator whenever you wanted them, and where the cupboards were full of good books.

I have been reading Stephen King since CARRIE and hope to read him for many years to come.

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.
