Dean Koontz
Not all popular novelists are good, but all good novelists are, sooner or later, popular.
Dean Koontz
What doesn't quicken dies. That's an indisputable truth of life.
Dean Koontz
How passionately we love everything that cannot last: the dazzling crystallory of winter, the spring in bloom, the fragile flight of butterflies, crimson sunsets, a kiss, and life.
Dean Koontz
I think the world is an interesting place and I don't think anybody has the firm and final answer to what it is but I kind of assume there's a purpose.
Dean Koontz
What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Despair is good. Despair can be the nadir of one life and the starting point of an ascent into another, better one.
Dean Koontz
Somebody asked me about the current choice we're being given in the presidential election. I said, Well, it's like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.
Dean Koontz
But victimhood was seductive, a release from responsibility and caring. Fear would be transmuted into weary resignation failure would no longer generate guilt but, instead, would spawn a comforting self-pity.
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
Life's mysterious, strange, and full of wonders - and only a fool withdraws from it willingly and lets it pass him by.
