I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Dean Koontz
No one can tell you what your heart should feel.
Dean Koontz
I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.
Dean Koontz
Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.
Dean Koontz
I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.
Dean Koontz
The saddest thing in the world was that human beings, for all their ardent striving and desire, could never achieve physical, emotional, or intellectual perfection. The species was doomed to imperfection it thrashed forever in despair or denial of that fact.
Dean Koontz
My wife is my first audience. She's a tough lady, so I can't say that I ever scare her. Except, of course, when she sees me the way I look before breakfast.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
I always thought happiness was a choice and I always chose things that made me happy, and books were one of those.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.
Dean Koontz
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
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
That's all that matters, really: that we can make each other feel better.
Dean Koontz
I'm either a mutant or a cripple, and I refuse to be a cripple. People pity cripples, but they're afraid of mutants [...] Fear implies respect.
Dean Koontz
Loving the ideal more than the reality is the cause of all the misery the human species creates for itself.
Dean Koontz
Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.
Dean Koontz
I am my own worst enemy. This, more than any other trait, proves my fundamental humanity.
Dean Koontz
What popped up more than that was the realization that I made as an adult that the world is this incredibly complex, layered, and mysterious place and if you stop and think about it the human cell is literally more complex than a fleet of 747s.
