Grapes are juicy. Strawberries. Oranges. Good pork chops are succulent, said Dusty. But the word isn't accurately descriptive of a person. Smiling with delight, Ahriman said, Oh, really, not accurately descriptive? Be careful housepainter. Your genes are showing. What if I were a cannibal?
Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity.
Dean Koontz
In each little life, we can see great truth and beauty, and in each little life we glimpse the way of all things in the universe. If we alow ourselves to be enchanted by the beauty of the ordinary, we begin to see that all things extraordinary.
Dean Koontz
You have to stop worrying about looking foolish, 'cause fear of being humiliated really limits you.
Dean Koontz
