Time doesn’t, as advertised, heal all wounds. Although the wrenching immediacy of grief eventually passed, the settled sorrow that replaced it might in its own way be even more intense.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
These days, people spent too much time striving to understand their feelings - and then ended up with none that were genuine.
Dean Koontz
Six billion of us walking the planet, six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one. Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside - some have weirder lives than you. Six billion stories, every one an epic, full of tragedy and triumph, good and evil, despair and hope. You and me - we aren't so special, bro.
Dean Koontz
A short-order cook, just off work, makes easy tracking for lions and worse
Dean Koontz
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
Dean Koontz
I believe in the possibility of miracles but, more to the point, I believe in our need for them.
Dean Koontz
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Dean Koontz
Evil is no faceless stranger, living in a distant neighborhood. Evil has a wholesome, hometown face, with merry eyes and an open smile. Evil walks among us, wearing a mask which looks like all our faces.
Dean Koontz
Hunches [are] just messages from the subconscious, which [is] thinking furiously all the time and processing information we have not consciously noted.
Dean Koontz
Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.
Dean Koontz
I do give books as gifts sometimes, when people would rather have one than a new Ferrari.
Dean Koontz
Although I've said a million times that I'm not a horror writer, I do like horror.
Dean Koontz
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
Dean Koontz
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
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.
Dean Koontz
Don't tell me what's necessary, you presumptupus pup. What's necessary is whatever I wish to do, regardless of how unnecessary it might be.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing.
Dean Koontz
Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.
Dean Koontz
I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.
Dean Koontz
Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.

Shakespeare again. Once you let him into your head, he takes up tenancy and will not leave.
