More quotes by Dean Koontz
I believe that I was a dog in a past life. That's the only thing that would explain why I like to snack on Purina Dog Chow.
Dean Koontz
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.
Dean Koontz
A fanatic is a nut who has something to believe in.
Dean Koontz
She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.
Dean Koontz
It was one of those rare times when remembering the dead was more inmportant than tending to the needs of the living.
Dean Koontz
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.
Dean Koontz
If dogs talked, one of them would be president by now. Everybody likes dogs.
Dean Koontz
Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have the faith to see it. Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always in the soul. In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.
Dean Koontz
Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.
Dean Koontz
Grapes are juicy. Strawberries. Oranges. Good pork chops are succulent, said Dusty. But the word isn't accurately descriptive of a person. Smiling with delight, Ahriman said, Oh, really, not accurately descriptive? Be careful housepainter. Your genes are showing. What if I were a cannibal?
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
Sometimes it seemed that the human heart, this side of Eden, feared life more than death, light more than darkness, freedom more than surrender.
Dean Koontz
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time.
Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity.
Dean Koontz
There's never any humongous next draft. I know a writer who every time he finished a novel - you would know his name very well - but his editor would come and live with him for a month. And they would go through the manuscript together.
Dean Koontz
I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Dean Koontz
As long as I have laughter, I am not without hope
