Image
I always thought happiness was a choice and I always chose things that made me happy, and books were one of those.
Dean Koontz
Image
I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work.

Image
You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
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
As long as I have laughter, I am not without hope
Dean Koontz
Image
Maybe there's nothing impossible tonight. We're down the hole to Wonderland, and no White Rabbit to guide us. If I remember correctly, the White Rabbit was an unreliable guide, anyway.

Writing isn't a source of pain. It's psychic chemotherapy. It reduces your psychological tumors and relieves your pain.
Dean Koontz
Image
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
If wishes were filet mignon, we'd always eat well at dinner
Dean Koontz
Image
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
Image
The word impossible contains the word possible' What's that-- some Zen thing?' I think Star Trek. Mr. Spock.
Dean Koontz
Image
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.
Dean Koontz
Image
I never have lunch because it makes me foggy-headed.
Dean Koontz
Image
No one can tell you what your heart should feel.
Dean Koontz
Image
I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month.
Dean Koontz
Image
I have a sofa on which I never nap, big windows with an ocean view that I rarely see because I keep the pleated shades down at all times while working. I know I'm a potential slacker, so I don't tempt myself.
