More quotes by Dean Koontz
...at it's best fiction is medicine.
Dean Koontz
If we were always conscious of the fact that people precious to us are frighteningly mortal, hanging not even by a thread, but by a wisp of gossamer, perhaps we would be kinder to them and more grateful for the love and friendship they give to us.
Dean Koontz
Intuition is seeing with the soul.
Dean Koontz
Best thing that can happen to a man is a good woman.
Dean Koontz
Thanks to the circus between my ears, I can seize upon the smallest disquieting observation and from it extrapolate a terror of cataclysmic proportions.
Dean Koontz
All but universally, human architecture values front elevations over back entrances, public spaces over private. Danny Jessup says that this aspect of architecture is also a reflection of human nature, that most people care more about their appearance than they do about their souls.
Dean Koontz
The dead are merely the countrymen of my future.
Dean Koontz
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

Dean Koontz
She lived for others, her heart tuned to their anguish and their needs.
Dean Koontz
I fall down on the side of free will, simply because if you look at where I came from, and what I was able to do in my life, what was able to happen.
Dean Koontz
If you want to publish two books a year under your own name and your publisher doesn't, maybe you need a different publisher.
Dean Koontz
In the real world as in dreams nothing is quite what it seems. -The Book of Counted Sorrows
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
It will all be better in the end and if it is not better then it must not be the end yet
Dean Koontz
Being polite is not only the right way to respond to people but also the easiest. Life is so filled with unavoidable conflict that I see no reason to promote more confrontations.
Dean Koontz
In my personal life, I'm a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we're human beings.
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
The word impossible contains the word possible' What's that-- some Zen thing?' I think Star Trek. Mr. Spock.
Dean Koontz
Houses are not haunted. We are haunted, and regardless of the architecture with which we surround ourselves, our ghosts stay with us until we ourselves are ghosts.
Dean Koontz
