Not an insult sweetie. That was a thirteen word kiss.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss.
Dean Koontz
I have learned a great deal from novels. Some of it is even true.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Imagine that you are more than nothing. Evil made you, but you are no more evil than a child unborn. If you want, if you seek, if you hope, who is to say that your hope might not be answered?
Dean Koontz
Every eye sees its own special vision every ear hears a most different song. In each man's troubled heart, an incision would reveal a unique, shameful wrong.
Dean Koontz
Intuition is seeing with the soul.
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
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
It was one of those rare times when remembering the dead was more inmportant than tending to the needs of the living.
Dean Koontz
When social forces press for the rejection of age-old Truth, then those who reject it will seek meaning in their own truth. These truths will rarely be Truth at all they will be only collections of personal preferences and prejudices.
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
In this world only the paranoid survive.
Dean Koontz
What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.
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
Faced with the challenge of an endless universe, Man will be forced to mature further, just as the Neanderthal-faced with an entire planet-had no choice but to grow away from the tradition of savagery.
Dean Koontz
