All these girls swooning over hunky vampires, what they really want is to give away their freedom, to be controlled and told what to do and not have to think -- and never die, of course. It's sick is what it is. I don't want to be a forever-young living corpse.

Dean Koontz
Image
The rain wasn't the usual glittering silver, but dark and dirty, as if nature were a scrubwoman wringing out a filthy mop.
Dean Koontz
Image
You have to stop worrying about looking foolish, 'cause fear of being humiliated really limits you.
Dean Koontz

Fate cannot be sidestepped or outrun.
Dean Koontz
Image
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.

Image
This world, which has the potential to be Eden, is instead the hell before Hell. In our arrogance, we have made it so.
