We live in God's amusement park.
Dean Koontz
Although I've said a million times that I'm not a horror writer, I do like horror.
Dean Koontz
No degree of prosperity can be sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
Dean Koontz
Always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us. We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.
Dean Koontz
It was one of those rare times when remembering the dead was more inmportant than tending to the needs of the living.
Dean Koontz
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
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
One door away from heaven And the key is ours to lose. One door away from heaven But oh, the entry dues.
Dean Koontz
Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind.
Dean Koontz
The word impossible contains the word possible' What's that-- some Zen thing?' I think Star Trek. Mr. Spock.
Dean Koontz
Even in the darkest moments, light exists if you have the faith to see it. Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always in the soul. In misfortune lies the seed of future triumph.
Dean Koontz

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
And the funny thing was if you made the best of it, if you smiled through every storm, the bad things were never as terrible as you expected them to be, and the good things were better than anything you could have wished for yourself.
Dean Koontz
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
Dean Koontz
In each little life, we can see great truth and beauty, and in each little life we glimpse the way of all things in the universe. If we alow ourselves to be enchanted by the beauty of the ordinary, we begin to see that all things extraordinary.
Dean Koontz
I always enjoyed the kids, but I didn't enjoy the bureaucracy of the educational system.
Dean Koontz
Six billion of us walking the planet, six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one. Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside - some have weirder lives than you. Six billion stories, every one an epic, full of tragedy and triumph, good and evil, despair and hope. You and me - we aren't so special, bro.
Dean Koontz
mankind has no right to employ its genius in the creation of another intelligent species, then treat it like property. If we've come so far that we can create as God creates, then we have to learn to act with the justice and mercy of God.
Dean Koontz
