Evil is no faceless stranger, living in a distant neighborhood. Evil has a wholesome, hometown face, with merry eyes and an open smile. Evil walks among us, wearing a mask which looks like all our faces.

Image
I am no theologian. I would not be surprised, however, if Heaven proved to be a cozy kitchen, where delicious treats appeared in the oven and in the refrigerator whenever you wanted them, and where the cupboards were full of good books.
Dean Koontz
Image
I am sustained by the certainty that life has meaning...as does death.
Dean Koontz
Image
Hunches [are] just messages from the subconscious, which [is] thinking furiously all the time and processing information we have not consciously noted.

Image
I survive by finding the sweet spot between reason and unreason, between the rational and irrational.

Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing.
Dean Koontz
Image

Fate cannot be sidestepped or outrun.

Image
If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.
Dean Koontz
Image
But the more people we love and the more deeply we love them, the more vulnerable we are to loss and grief and loneliness.
Dean Koontz
Image
Humanity was drawn to turmoil and self-destruction as inevitably as the earth was drawn to complete its annual revolution of the sun.
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.
Dean Koontz
Image
The human species was too fond of lying, cheating, envy, ignorance, self-pity, self-righteousness, and utopian visions that always led to mass murder-but until and if it destroyed itself, it harbored the potential to become nobler, to take responsibility for its actions, to live and let live, and to earn the stewardship of the earth.

He is different, and there will be many people you love who will be unhappy with you. You don’t want them to feel you’ve dishonored them. Yes, I know how it is. But life is short. A chance for great happiness doesn’t come along all that often.

As much as I've produced it looks to people like I must have written quickly, but it isn't that - because I put in in a sixty- or seventy-hour week.

Perseverance is impossible if we don't permit ourselves to hope.
