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
Image
Humanity is a parade of fools, and I am at the front of it, twirling a baton.
Dean Koontz
Image
Always, beneath every apparent chaos, order waits to be revealed.
Dean Koontz

Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.

Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.

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.

I kind of build a novel the way marine polyps build a coral reef, it's millions and millions of little precarious bodies stacked on one another. And in my case, that's thousands of minutes I go through to get from one scene to the next and build it that way.

Dean Koontz
Image
Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time.
Dean Koontz
Image
The world is full of broken people. Splints, casts, miracle drugs, and time can't mend fractured hearts, wounded hearts, wounded minds, torn spirits.
Dean Koontz
Image
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
Dean Koontz
Image
What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.

Image
Where there is cake, there is hope. And there is always cake.

Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.

There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.

Image
Atlas isn't carrying the world on his shoulders, no giant muscular hulk with a sense of responsibility the world is balanced on a pyramid of clowns, and they are always tooting horns and wobbling and goosing each other.
Dean Koontz
Image
Always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us. We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.

What sucks the worst is . . . this world was a gift to us, and we broke it, and part of the deal is that if we want things right, we have to fix it ourselves. But we can't. We try, but we can't.

Loyal companions are an unequaled grace, stanching fear before it bleeds you numb, a reliable antidote for creeping despair.
