In spite of where we were, how we had gotten here and why we had come, I felt that at this moment of our lives, this place was exactly where we belonged. We were not drifting but rising, rising toward something right and of significance.

Don't tell me what's necessary, you presumptupus pup. What's necessary is whatever I wish to do, regardless of how unnecessary it might be.
Dean Koontz
Every eye sees its own special vision every ear hears a most different song. In each man's troubled heart, an incision would reveal a unique, shameful wrong.
Dean Koontz
All I ask of Fate is that the people she hurls into my life, whether they are evil or good, or morally bipolar, should be amusing to one degree or another.... The problem is finding smile-inducing evil people, because the evil are the most humorless, though in the movies they frequently get some of the best lines.

...he was part of a family whether he wanted to be or not, the family of humanity, more often than not a frustrating and contentious clan, flawed and often deeply confused, but also periodically noble and admirable, with a common destiny that every member shared.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
The destruction that barbarians leave behind has a grim fascination, doesn't it? We're reminded how thin is the veneer of civilization.
Dean Koontz
we must seize life because we never know how much of it remains for us, that faith is the antidote to despair and that laughter is the music of faith.
Dean Koontz
Always, beneath every apparent chaos, order waits to be revealed.
Dean Koontz
Life's mysterious, strange, and full of wonders - and only a fool withdraws from it willingly and lets it pass him by.
Dean Koontz
But once an idea for a novel seizes a writer...well, it’s like an inner fire that at first warms you and makes you feel good but then begins to eat you alive, burn you up from within. You can’t just walk away from the fire it keeps burning. The only way to put it out is to write the book.
Dean Koontz
In this age, lies were the universal lubricant of the culture. A love of Truth and commitment to it were seldom rewarded and were often punished.

People who go to work every day, make sacrifices to raise families, and get through life without hurting other people if they can help it-those are the real heros.
Dean Koontz
The more you expect from life, the more your expectations will be fulfilled. By laughing, you do not use up your laughter, but increase your store of it. The more you love, the more you will be loved. The more you give, the more you will receive. Life proves that truth every hour, every day. And life continues to surprise.
