More quotes by Dean Koontz
When it came to formal classes, I was a slacker. But I've always been a diligent autodidact and can teach myself virtually any subject if I have a serious interest in it.
Dean Koontz
Maybe there's nothing impossible tonight. We're down the hole to Wonderland, and no White Rabbit to guide us. If I remember correctly, the White Rabbit was an unreliable guide, anyway.
Dean Koontz
She says what holds their marriage together is that she feels too damn sorry for him to ask for a divorce.
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
Not funny ha ha, funny weird.
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
There's never any humongous next draft. I know a writer who every time he finished a novel - you would know his name very well - but his editor would come and live with him for a month. And they would go through the manuscript together.
Dean Koontz
My life has a mysterious purpose that I don't understand, and day by day, conflict by conflict, I learn by going where I have to go.
Dean Koontz
Alliteration seems to offend people.
Dean Koontz
That's all that matters, really: that we can make each other feel better.
Dean Koontz
While I like people, I do also like being alone in a room and seeing what you can do with a particular theme or subject.
Dean Koontz
here in the summer desert, winter found my blood
Dean Koontz
Human beings are such knotted, desperate pieces of work-it's a rare thing to know one completely, to the core, and still love him.
Dean Koontz
A fine line separates the weary recluse from the fearful hermit. Finer still is the line between hermit and bitter misanthrope.
Dean Koontz
Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.
Dean Koontz
Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.
Dean Koontz
Only the human spirit can act with volition and consciously change itself it is the only thing in all creation that is not entirely at the mercy of forces outside itself.
Dean Koontz
As long as I have laughter, I am not without hope
Dean Koontz
I've always operated with a great deal of self-doubt. Every time I start a new book it's like, well, this one will destroy the career and I have to overcome that feeling especially in the first hundred pages of the book.
Dean Koontz
What has been is no more. Change has come.
