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.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
We are not, however, a species that can choose the baggage with which we must travel. In spite of our best intentions, we always find that we have brought along a suitcase or two of darkness and despair.
Dean Koontz
You can't always win arguments as a writer, but you have to just go ahead and say, well, I'm doing it that way anyway.
Dean Koontz
Living in the modern age, death for virtue is the wage. So it seems in darker hours. Evil wins, kindness cowers. Ruled by violence and vice we all stand upon thin ice. Are we brave or are we mice, here upon such thin, thin ice? Dare we linger, dare we skate? Dare we laugh or celebrate, knowing we may strain the ice? Preserve the ice at any price?
Dean Koontz
I receive about 10,000 letters a year from readers, and in the first year after a book is published, perhaps 5,000 letters will deal specifically with that piece of work.
Dean Koontz
No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.
Dean Koontz
In the real world as in dreams nothing is quite what it seems. -The Book of Counted Sorrows
Dean Koontz
I always enjoyed the kids, but I didn't enjoy the bureaucracy of the educational system.
Dean Koontz
Perseverance is impossible if we don't permit ourselves to hope.
Dean Koontz
The desire to write well can never be fulfilled without hard work.
Dean Koontz
Shakespeare again. Once you let him into your head, he takes up tenancy and will not leave.
Dean Koontz
Whiskers of the cat, Webbed toes on my swimming dog God is in the details.
Dean Koontz
Nearly everything that was fun, of course, was also a little dangerous: riding roller coasters, skydiving, gambling, sex.
Dean Koontz
That is, Jack thought, the way of life. The horror changes us, because we can never forget. Cursed with memory. It starts when we're old enough to know what death is and realize that sooner or later we'll lose everyone we love. We're never the same. But somehow we're all right. We go on.
Dean Koontz
When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster.
Dean Koontz
Nothing is worse than being alone on the evening of the day when one's cow has exploded.
Dean Koontz
I have more self-doubt than any writer I've ever known.... The positive aspect of self-doubt - if you can channel it into useful activity instead of being paralyzed by it - is that by the time you reach the end of a novel, you know precisely why you made every decision in the narrative, the multiple purposes of every metaphor and image.
Dean Koontz
If we were capable of thinking of everything, we would still be living in Eden, rent-free with all-you-can-eat buffets and infinitely better daytime TV programming.
Dean Koontz
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
Dean Koontz
I always thought happiness was a choice and I always chose things that made me happy, and books were one of those.
