Image
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
Dean Koontz
Image
Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.
Dean Koontz
Image
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
Dean Koontz
Image
In our age, self-indulgence and self-destruction, rather than self-sacrifice, are the foundations for new heroic myths.
Dean Koontz
Image
His blue eyes were seas where sorrow sailed.
Dean Koontz
Image
In this world only the paranoid survive.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.
Dean Koontz
Image
The things we worry about the most are never the things that bite us. The sharpest teeth always take their nip of us when we are looking the other way.

Image
We live in God's amusement park.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.

Image
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
Dean Koontz
Image
One door away from heaven And the key is ours to lose. One door away from heaven But oh, the entry dues.
Dean Koontz
Image
How passionately we love everything that cannot last: the dazzling crystallory of winter, the spring in bloom, the fragile flight of butterflies, crimson sunsets, a kiss, and life.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
Every human being has appetites difficult to control but far fewer have humility, gentleness, and an awareness of their weaknesses.
Dean Koontz
Image
Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.
Dean Koontz
Image
Sometimes it seemed that the human heart, this side of Eden, feared life more than death, light more than darkness, freedom more than surrender.
Dean Koontz
Image
I believe that I was a dog in a past life. That's the only thing that would explain why I like to snack on Purina Dog Chow.
Dean Koontz
Image
Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.
