Dean Koontz
Stay low, stay quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.

I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.
Dean Koontz
Always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us. We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.
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 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
... and she had worn bitterness as though it were a crown.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
I think the world is an interesting place and I don't think anybody has the firm and final answer to what it is but I kind of assume there's a purpose.
Dean Koontz
Every life is complicated, every mind a kingdom of unmapped mysteries.
Dean Koontz
One of the greatest gifts we receive from dogs is the tenderness they evoke in us
Dean Koontz
Never, never try to scope the market.
Dean Koontz
People couldn't bear to go on living if they faced every cold truth about themselves.
Dean Koontz
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
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
Dean Koontz
we must seize life because we never know how much of it remains for us, that faith is the antidote to despair and that laughter is the music of faith.
Dean Koontz
They said there was no rest for the wicked. In fact, there was rest neither for the virtuous nor the wicked, nor for guys like Billy, who were uncommitted regarding the whole idea of virtue versus wickedness and who were just trying to do their jobs.
