Dean Koontz
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.
Dean Koontz
Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.
Dean Koontz
That's all that matters, really: that we can make each other feel better.
