More quotes by Dean Koontz
On the Road that I have taken, one day walking I awaken, amazed to see where I've come, where I'm going, where I'm from.
Dean Koontz
I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.
Dean Koontz
When life hands us a beutiful bouquet of flowers we stare at it in cautious expectation of a bee.
Dean Koontz
From time to time, I do consider that I might be mad. Like any self-respecting lunatic, however, I am always quick to dismiss any doubts about my sanity.
Dean Koontz
We can approach belief from an intellectual path, but in the end, God must be taken on faith. Proofs are for things of this world, things in time and of time, not beyond time.
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 am the One, and I see all. But the blind man in Apartment 1-A is blind in many ways, as are all human beings, even those with functioning eyes. They are blind to their folly, to their ignorance, to their history, to the future that they will make for themselves. A future born of self-loathing.
Dean Koontz
Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.
Dean Koontz
The human imagination may be the most elastic thing in the universe, stretching to encompass the millions of dreams that in centuries of relectless struggle built modern civilization, to entertain the endless doubts that hamper every human enterprise, and to conceive the vast menagerie of boogeymen that trouble every human heart.
Dean Koontz
The hatred of truth is the taproot of violence.
Dean Koontz
The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss.
Dean Koontz
Reality isn't what it used to be.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.
Dean Koontz
In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.
Dean Koontz
In the real world as in dreams nothing is quite what it seems. -The Book of Counted Sorrows
Dean Koontz
Living in the modern age, death for virtue is the wage. So it seems in darker hours. Evil wins, kindness cowers. Ruled by violence and vice we all stand upon thin ice. Are we brave or are we mice, here upon such thin, thin ice? Dare we linger, dare we skate? Dare we laugh or celebrate, knowing we may strain the ice? Preserve the ice at any price?
Dean Koontz
A man begins dying at the moment of his birth. Most People live in denial of Death's patient courtship until, late in life and deep in sickness, they become aware of him sitting bedside.
Dean Koontz
I know it's hard being a single mother baby, he said, but we're talking fundamentals here. Homemade cookies are one of the best parts of christmas. It's an absolute fundamental.
Dean Koontz
All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart.
Dean Koontz
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
Dean Koontz
