Dean Koontz
What has been is no more. Change has come.
Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Despair is good. Despair can be the nadir of one life and the starting point of an ascent into another, better one.
Dean Koontz
I kind of build a novel the way marine polyps build a coral reef, it's millions and millions of little precarious bodies stacked on one another. And in my case, that's thousands of minutes I go through to get from one scene to the next and build it that way.
Dean Koontz
Nearly everything that was fun, of course, was also a little dangerous: riding roller coasters, skydiving, gambling, sex.
Dean Koontz
The word impossible contains the word possible' What's that-- some Zen thing?' I think Star Trek. Mr. Spock.
Dean Koontz
