I have learned a great deal from novels. Some of it is even true.
Dean Koontz
I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month.
Dean Koontz
Human beings are such knotted, desperate pieces of work-it's a rare thing to know one completely, to the core, and still love him.

Cowards shrink from toil and peril, Vulgar souls attempt and fail Men of mettle, nothing daunted, Persevere till they prevail.
Dean Koontz
