We can approach belief from an intellectual path, but in the end, God must be taken on faith. Proofs are for things of this world, things in time and of time, not beyond time.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart.
Dean Koontz
That was interesting, riding in the trunk, Milo said, but I wouldn't want to do it again.
Dean Koontz
Death came, Death went, but Commerce flowed Eternal.
Dean Koontz
I think the world is an interesting place and I don't think anybody has the firm and final answer to what it is but I kind of assume there's a purpose.
Dean Koontz
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.
Dean Koontz
My wife is my first audience. She's a tough lady, so I can't say that I ever scare her. Except, of course, when she sees me the way I look before breakfast.
Dean Koontz
What really holds their marriage together are mutual respect of an awesome depth, a shared sense of humor, faith that they were brought together by a force greater than themselves, and a love so unwavering and pure that it is sacred.
Dean Koontz
When a knot gets to tight, you can always cut the rope
Dean Koontz
I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month.
Dean Koontz
The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
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
Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.
Dean Koontz
I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Dean Koontz
Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time.
Dean Koontz
The biggest advice is being true to what you want to do. Don't worry if other people understand it or don't understand it. If what you're doing has merit, it will find its way.
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
The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion.
Dean Koontz
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.
Dean Koontz
It will all be better in the end and if it is not better then it must not be the end yet
Dean Koontz
Not all popular novelists are good, but all good novelists are, sooner or later, popular.
Dean Koontz
