More quotes by Dean Koontz
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
Dean Koontz
All I ask of Fate is that the people she hurls into my life, whether they are evil or good, or morally bipolar, should be amusing to one degree or another.... The problem is finding smile-inducing evil people, because the evil are the most humorless, though in the movies they frequently get some of the best lines.
Dean Koontz
Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.
Dean Koontz
Only the human spirit can act with volition and consciously change itself it is the only thing in all creation that is not entirely at the mercy of forces outside itself.
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Anger is a violent emotion, vindictive, and as dangerous to he who is driven by it as to anyone on whom it is turned.
Dean Koontz
The process, not the final achievement, is what it's all about.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
One of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.
Dean Koontz
Maybe there's nothing impossible tonight. We're down the hole to Wonderland, and no White Rabbit to guide us. If I remember correctly, the White Rabbit was an unreliable guide, anyway.
Dean Koontz
A short-order cook, just off work, makes easy tracking for lions and worse
Dean Koontz
Perseverance is impossible if we don't permit ourselves to hope.
Dean Koontz
No one can tell you what your heart should feel.
Dean Koontz
Love and sausage are alike. Can never have enough of either.
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
He once told me that an August evening was as hot as three toads in a Cuisinart, a comparison that left me blinking two days later.
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
I enjoy the hell out of writing but don't like what follows: promotion and publicity, which I always strive to keep to a minimum, sometimes to my publisher's dismay.
