More quotes by Dean Koontz
The dead are merely the countrymen of my future.
Dean Koontz
Not all or even most suffering is at the hands of fate it befalls us at our invitation.
Dean Koontz
There’s just something unsettling about studying your reflection. It’s not a matter of being dissatisfied with your face or of being embarrassed by your vanity. Maybe it’s that when you gaze into your own eyes, you don’t see what you wish to see—or glimpse something that you wish weren’t there.
Dean Koontz
The brain acknowledged the approach of death while the heart stubbornly insisted upon immortality.
Dean Koontz
I am the One, and I see all. But the blind man in Apartment 1-A is blind in many ways, as are all human beings, even those with functioning eyes. They are blind to their folly, to their ignorance, to their history, to the future that they will make for themselves. A future born of self-loathing.
Dean Koontz
There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
Dean Koontz
Every life is complicated, every mind a kingdom of unmapped mysteries.
Dean Koontz
To a predator, fear indicates weakness.
Dean Koontz
I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.
Dean Koontz
Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.
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
In the wind, the trees, like agitated lions preparing to roar, shook their great green manes.
Dean Koontz
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Dean Koontz
Your mind always does worse things than people can show in a movie.
Dean Koontz
The human imagination may be the most elastic thing in the universe, stretching to encompass the millions of dreams that in centuries of relectless struggle built modern civilization, to entertain the endless doubts that hamper every human enterprise, and to conceive the vast menagerie of boogeymen that trouble every human heart.
Dean Koontz
If we were capable of thinking of everything, we would still be living in Eden, rent-free with all-you-can-eat buffets and infinitely better daytime TV programming.
Dean Koontz
I survive by finding the sweet spot between reason and unreason, between the rational and irrational.
Dean Koontz
No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.
Dean Koontz
I know it's hard being a single mother baby, he said, but we're talking fundamentals here. Homemade cookies are one of the best parts of christmas. It's an absolute fundamental.
