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.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart.
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
We live in God's amusement park.
Dean Koontz
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.
Dean Koontz
Living in the modern age, death for virtue is the wage. So it seems in darker hours. Evil wins, kindness cowers. Ruled by violence and vice we all stand upon thin ice. Are we brave or are we mice, here upon such thin, thin ice? 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
No one can tell you what your heart should feel.
Dean Koontz
The brain acknowledged the approach of death while the heart stubbornly insisted upon immortality.
Dean Koontz
Houses are not haunted. We are haunted, and regardless of the architecture with which we surround ourselves, our ghosts stay with us until we ourselves are ghosts.
Dean Koontz
What has been is no more. Change has come.
Dean Koontz
I never have lunch because it makes me foggy-headed.
Dean Koontz
The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss.
Dean Koontz
Shakespeare again. Once you let him into your head, he takes up tenancy and will not leave.
Dean Koontz
I see dead people. But, then by God, I do something about it!
Dean Koontz
A man begins dying at the moment of his birth. Most People live in denial of Death's patient courtship until, late in life and deep in sickness, they become aware of him sitting bedside.
Dean Koontz
In the end, it's all about perseverance.
Dean Koontz
We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.
Dean Koontz
Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time.
Dean Koontz
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
Dean Koontz
What does worry accomplish except to breed more worry?
Dean Koontz
People couldn't bear to go on living if they faced every cold truth about themselves.
