More quotes by Dean Koontz
Lots of people are unable to see all kinds of truths right in front of their eyes. The world is what we make it, and our future is ours to shape.
Dean Koontz
I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing.
Dean Koontz
When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern truth, and could himself be more easily deceived.
Dean Koontz
The true nature of the world was weirder than any bizarre fabric that anyone might weave from the warp and weft of imagination's loom.
Dean Koontz
Six billion of us walking the planet, six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one. Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside - some have weirder lives than you. Six billion stories, every one an epic, full of tragedy and triumph, good and evil, despair and hope. You and me - we aren't so special, bro.
Dean Koontz
The process, not the final achievement, is what it's all about.
Dean Koontz
The hatred of truth is the taproot of violence.
Dean Koontz
My life would be constrained by the horror and fierce rage that my appearance inspired, but I would know peace as well as fear, tenderness as well as brutality, and even love in a time of cruelty.
Dean Koontz
There's never any humongous next draft. I know a writer who every time he finished a novel - you would know his name very well - but his editor would come and live with him for a month. And they would go through the manuscript together.
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
He once told me that an August evening was as hot as three toads in a Cuisinart, a comparison that left me blinking two days later.
Dean Koontz
I'll sit in the park and feed the pigeons for a while.' We don't have pigeons.' Then I'll feed the pterodactyls.
Dean Koontz
Writing a novel is like making love, but it's also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it's like making love while having a tooth pulled.
Dean Koontz
In the end, it's all about perseverance.
Dean Koontz
One man's idea of perfect order is another man's chaos.
Dean Koontz
The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
Dean Koontz
Some argued that the youth of today were poorly educated and insufficiently industrious, but one of them had sought to validate his generation by spending considerable time and effort chiseling an obscene word in the concrete picnic table, and he had spelled it correctly.
Dean Koontz
No, if there's any ultimate redemption, it would be because I passed though your life without scarring you, and did not diminish who you are.
Dean Koontz
I never have lunch because it makes me foggy-headed.
