More quotes by Dean Koontz
Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.
Dean Koontz
Some days I'm lucky to squeeze out a page of copy that pleases me, but I get as many as six or seven pages on a very good day the average is probably three pages.
Dean Koontz
...he was part of a family whether he wanted to be or not, the family of humanity, more often than not a frustrating and contentious clan, flawed and often deeply confused, but also periodically noble and admirable, with a common destiny that every member shared.
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
But victimhood was seductive, a release from responsibility and caring. Fear would be transmuted into weary resignation failure would no longer generate guilt but, instead, would spawn a comforting self-pity.
Dean Koontz
The retriever took each bit of meat from his master's hand with a delicacy almost equal to that of a hummingbird sipping sugar water from a garden feeder, and when it was all gone, he gazed up at Dusty with an adoration that could not have been much less than the love with which the angels regard God.
Dean Koontz
Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time.
Dean Koontz
The true nature of the world was weirder than any bizarre fabric that anyone might weave from the warp and weft of imagination's loom.
Dean Koontz
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
A good dog is one of the best things of all to be.
Dean Koontz
In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
His blue eyes were seas where sorrow sailed.
Dean Koontz
The rain wasn't the usual glittering silver, but dark and dirty, as if nature were a scrubwoman wringing out a filthy mop.
Dean Koontz
Intuition is seeing with the soul.
Dean Koontz
Although I've said a million times that I'm not a horror writer, I do like horror.
Dean Koontz
My life would be constrained by the horror and fierce rage that my appearance inspired, but I would know peace as well as fear, tenderness as well as brutality, and even love in a time of cruelty.
Dean Koontz
Never, never try to scope the market.
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
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
The brain acknowledged the approach of death while the heart stubbornly insisted upon immortality.
