Dean Koontz
Image
The more you expect from life, the more your expectations will be fulfilled. By laughing, you do not use up your laughter, but increase your store of it. The more you love, the more you will be loved. The more you give, the more you will receive. Life proves that truth every hour, every day. And life continues to surprise.

Dean Koontz
Image
Every expression of desired friendship has potential bite. Every smile reveals the teeth.
Dean Koontz

There's still a fascination with somebody who can write at book length, no matter what the book is.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Image
Too much mystery is merely an annoyance. Too much adventure is exhausting. And a little terror goes a long way.
Dean Koontz
Image
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.

Writing isn't a source of pain. It's psychic chemotherapy. It reduces your psychological tumors and relieves your pain.

Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time.

The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion.
