No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.

Image
mankind has no right to employ its genius in the creation of another intelligent species, then treat it like property. If we've come so far that we can create as God creates, then we have to learn to act with the justice and mercy of God.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.

Image
Shakespeare again. Once you let him into your head, he takes up tenancy and will not leave.
Dean Koontz
Image
You can con God and get away with it, Granny said, if you do so with charm and wit. If you live your life with imagination and verve, God will play along just to see what outrageously entertaining thing you'll do next.

Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.

Image
Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.

She lived for others, her heart tuned to their anguish and their needs.
Dean Koontz
Image
Anger is a violent emotion, vindictive, and as dangerous to he who is driven by it as to anyone on whom it is turned.

Image
We're out of cocktail olives, it's a tragedy of historic proportions, but we're coping because we're Americans.
Dean Koontz
Image
The things we worry about the most are never the things that bite us. The sharpest teeth always take their nip of us when we are looking the other way.

Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement.
