... and she had worn bitterness as though it were a crown.
Dean Koontz
The more you expect from life, the more your expectations will be fulfilled. By laughing, you do not use up your laughter, but increase your store of it. The more you love, the more you will be loved. The more you give, the more you will receive. Life proves that truth every hour, every day. And life continues to surprise.
Dean Koontz
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.

Dean Koontz
Or maybe they were just doing it for fun. A lark. Their religion is tolerant of extreme forms of recreation. Boys will be boys, after all, and sociopathic boys will be sociopathic.
Dean Koontz
We're out of cocktail olives, it's a tragedy of historic proportions, but we're coping because we're Americans.
Dean Koontz
The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
Dean Koontz
The only thing we can't buy more of is time. she said. And dodo birds. We can't buy any more of them. they're extinct. And dinosaurs.
Dean Koontz
What sucks the worst is . . . this world was a gift to us, and we broke it, and part of the deal is that if we want things right, we have to fix it ourselves. But we can't. We try, but we can't.
Dean Koontz
Every life is complicated, every mind a kingdom of unmapped mysteries.
