Dean Koontz
When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come.

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.
Dean Koontz
The snow did not even whisper its way to earth, but seemed to salt the night with silence.
Dean Koontz
Some days I'm lucky to squeeze out a page of copy that pleases me, but I get as many as six or seven pages on a very good day the average is probably three pages.
Dean Koontz
Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.
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.
Dean Koontz
Every human being has appetites difficult to control but far fewer have humility, gentleness, and an awareness of their weaknesses.
Dean Koontz
