More quotes by Dean Koontz
The hatred of truth is the taproot of violence.
Dean Koontz
In my personal life, I'm a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we're human beings.
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.
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
My life has a mysterious purpose that I don't understand, and day by day, conflict by conflict, I learn by going where I have to go.
Dean Koontz
In the end, it's all about perseverance.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
The less depth a belief system has, the greater the fervency with which its adherents embrace it. The most vociferous, the most fanatical are those whose cobbled faith is founded on the shakiest grounds.
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
No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
Hope, however, isn't all that's needed to achieve change. Hope is a hand extended, but two hands are required to be pulled out of this deep hole. The second hand was faith.
Dean Koontz
In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
Dean Koontz
Some lives, conducted with grace, are beautiful arcs bridging this world to eternity.
Dean Koontz
Those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the inequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.
Dean Koontz
A fine line separates the weary recluse from the fearful hermit. Finer still is the line between hermit and bitter misanthrope.
Dean Koontz
While I like people, I do also like being alone in a room and seeing what you can do with a particular theme or subject.
Dean Koontz
Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.
Dean Koontz
I have advice for new writers, first of all, at any time in the history of publishing in my experience, there will be endless number people telling you that you can't do what you are trying to do. You won't succeed, there's something else you should be doing.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
