When I'm working on a novel, I work 70-hour weeks.
Dean Koontz
When life hands us a beutiful bouquet of flowers we stare at it in cautious expectation of a bee.
Dean Koontz
We can approach belief from an intellectual path, but in the end, God must be taken on faith. Proofs are for things of this world, things in time and of time, not beyond time.
Dean Koontz
The snow did not even whisper its way to earth, but seemed to salt the night with silence.
Dean Koontz
In my personal life, I'm a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we're human beings.
Dean Koontz
...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
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
That's all that matters, really: that we can make each other feel better.
Dean Koontz
The opportunity to love a dog and to treat it with kindness is an opportunity for a lost and selfish heart to be redeemed. They are powerless and innocent, and it is how we treat the humblest among us that surely determines the fate of our souls
Dean Koontz
Maybe there's nothing impossible tonight. We're down the hole to Wonderland, and no White Rabbit to guide us. If I remember correctly, the White Rabbit was an unreliable guide, anyway.
Dean Koontz
He is different, and there will be many people you love who will be unhappy with you. You don’t want them to feel you’ve dishonored them. Yes, I know how it is. But life is short. A chance for great happiness doesn’t come along all that often.
Dean Koontz
I have been reading Stephen King since CARRIE and hope to read him for many years to come.
Dean Koontz
Grief is a healthy emotion, and it's healthy to embrace it. By accepting loss, we clarify our values and the meaning of our lives.
Dean Koontz
A silent dark...as black as a moonless lake, as a ravine's wings, darkness there and nothing more, merely this and nothing more.
Dean Koontz
Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.
Dean Koontz
Cowards shrink from toil and peril, Vulgar souls attempt and fail Men of mettle, nothing daunted, Persevere till they prevail.
Dean Koontz
Dare we linger, dare we skate? Dare we laugh or celebrate, knowing we may strain the ice? Preserve the ice at any price?
Dean Koontz
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart.
