Evil is no faceless stranger, living in a distant neighborhood. Evil has a wholesome, hometown face, with merry eyes and an open smile. Evil walks among us, wearing a mask which looks like all our faces.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity.
Dean Koontz
I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.
Dean Koontz
Nothing is worse than being alone on the evening of the day when one's cow has exploded.
Dean Koontz
Not all popular novelists are good, but all good novelists are, sooner or later, popular.
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
The human imagination may be the most elastic thing in the universe, stretching to encompass the millions of dreams that in centuries of relectless struggle built modern civilization, to entertain the endless doubts that hamper every human enterprise, and to conceive the vast menagerie of boogeymen that trouble every human heart.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes many publishers prefer that you write the same book every time, but I have a low boredom threshold so that isn't going to happen.
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
I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month.
Dean Koontz
One of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.
Dean Koontz
mankind has no right to employ its genius in the creation of another intelligent species, then treat it like property. If we've come so far that we can create as God creates, then we have to learn to act with the justice and mercy of God.
Dean Koontz
Being polite is not only the right way to respond to people but also the easiest. Life is so filled with unavoidable conflict that I see no reason to promote more confrontations.
Dean Koontz
Best thing that can happen to a man is a good woman.
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.
Dean Koontz
Always, beneath every apparent chaos, order waits to be revealed.
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
When a knot gets to tight, you can always cut the rope
Dean Koontz
Or maybe they were just doing it for fun. A lark. Their religion is tolerant of extreme forms of recreation. Boys will be boys, after all, and sociopathic boys will be sociopathic.
Dean Koontz
What does worry accomplish except to breed more worry?
Dean Koontz
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
