A silent dark...as black as a moonless lake, as a ravine's wings, darkness there and nothing more, merely this and nothing more.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
Dean Koontz
Loyal companions are an unequaled grace, stanching fear before it bleeds you numb, a reliable antidote for creeping despair.
Dean Koontz
In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Dean Koontz
In the end, it's all about perseverance.
Dean Koontz
Dare we linger, dare we skate? Dare we laugh or celebrate, knowing we may strain the ice? Preserve the ice at any price?
Dean Koontz
When a knot gets to tight, you can always cut the rope
Dean Koontz
In my personal life, I'm a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we're human beings.
Dean Koontz
I don't write a quick draft and then revise instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.
Dean Koontz
Books were this wonderful escape for me because I could open a book and disappear into it, and that was the only way out of that house when I was a kid.
Dean Koontz
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
Dean Koontz
Alliteration seems to offend people.
Dean Koontz
If I waited until I felt creative, I would never have had a career. I long ago learned that a day that starts out badly, when nothing comes out on the page or comes out wrong, can suddenly turn into a good day a few hours later, when suddenly everything starts to click. The brain can be cajoled into being creative.
Dean Koontz
As long as I have laughter, I am not without hope
Dean Koontz
Some argued that the youth of today were poorly educated and insufficiently industrious, but one of them had sought to validate his generation by spending considerable time and effort chiseling an obscene word in the concrete picnic table, and he had spelled it correctly.
Dean Koontz
But victimhood was seductive, a release from responsibility and caring. Fear would be transmuted into weary resignation failure would no longer generate guilt but, instead, would spawn a comforting self-pity.
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
Evil men often easy to mislead, because they have spent so long deceiving that they no longer recognise the truth and mistake deseption for it.
Dean Koontz
Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.
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.
