More quotes by Dean Koontz
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
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
Best thing that can happen to a man is a good woman.
Dean Koontz
You can con God and get away with it, Granny said, if you do so with charm and wit. If you live your life with imagination and verve, God will play along just to see what outrageously entertaining thing you'll do next.
Dean Koontz
Creating a family in this turbulent world is an act of faith, a wager that against all odds there will be a future, that love can last, that the heart can triumph against all adversities and even against the grinding wheel of time.
Dean Koontz
Some lives, conducted with grace, are beautiful arcs bridging this world to eternity.
Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity.

Dean Koontz
One man's idea of perfect order is another man's chaos.
Dean Koontz
If wishes were filet mignon, we'd always eat well at dinner
Dean Koontz
Lots of people are unable to see all kinds of truths right in front of their eyes. The world is what we make it, and our future is ours to shape.
Dean Koontz
There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
Atlas isn't carrying the world on his shoulders, no giant muscular hulk with a sense of responsibility the world is balanced on a pyramid of clowns, and they are always tooting horns and wobbling and goosing each other.
Dean Koontz
Never, never try to scope the market.
Dean Koontz
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
Dean Koontz
Those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the inequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.
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 broom wasn't as comforting as a flamethrower would have been, but it was better than a mop and certainly more threatening than a feather duster.
Dean Koontz
Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.
