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.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
we must seize life because we never know how much of it remains for us, that faith is the antidote to despair and that laughter is the music of faith.
Dean Koontz
As much as I've produced it looks to people like I must have written quickly, but it isn't that - because I put in in a sixty- or seventy-hour week.
Dean Koontz
Imagine that you are more than nothing. Evil made you, but you are no more evil than a child unborn. If you want, if you seek, if you hope, who is to say that your hope might not be answered?
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
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
Being polite is not only the right way to respond to people but also the easiest. Life is so filled with unavoidable conflict that I see no reason to promote more confrontations.
Dean Koontz
You can't always win arguments as a writer, but you have to just go ahead and say, well, I'm doing it that way anyway.
Dean Koontz
After once having made the mistake of watching television news, I had worried for a while about an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out human civilization. The anchorwoman had said it was not merely possible but probable. At the end of the report, she smiled.
Dean Koontz
I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.
Dean Koontz
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
Dean Koontz
Every life is complicated, every mind a kingdom of unmapped mysteries.
Dean Koontz
The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss.
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
She says what holds their marriage together is that she feels too damn sorry for him to ask for a divorce.
Dean Koontz
You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
Dean Koontz
If something in your writing gives support to people in their lives, that’s more than just entertainment-w hich is what we writers all struggle to do, to touch people.
Dean Koontz
One door away from heaven And the key is ours to lose. One door away from heaven But oh, the entry dues.
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
Evil men often easy to mislead, because they have spent so long deceiving that they no longer recognise the truth and mistake deseption for it.
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.
