When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern truth, and could himself be more easily deceived.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
What doesn't quicken dies. That's an indisputable truth of life.
Dean Koontz
I admit to having an imagination feverish enough to melt good judgment.
Dean Koontz
This world, which has the potential to be Eden, is instead the hell before Hell. In our arrogance, we have made it so.
Dean Koontz
When we hope, we usually hope for the wrong thing.
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
Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.
Dean Koontz
Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.
Dean Koontz
Imagine that you are more than nothing. Evil made you, but you are no more evil than a child unborn. If you want, if you seek, if you hope, who is to say that your hope might not be answered?
Dean Koontz
Only time conquers time and its burdens.
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.
Dean Koontz
I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.
Dean Koontz
A short-order cook, just off work, makes easy tracking for lions and worse
Dean Koontz
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Anger is a violent emotion, vindictive, and as dangerous to he who is driven by it as to anyone on whom it is turned.
Dean Koontz
the worst happens when you least expect it
Dean Koontz
If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.
Dean Koontz
I kind of build a novel the way marine polyps build a coral reef, it's millions and millions of little precarious bodies stacked on one another. And in my case, that's thousands of minutes I go through to get from one scene to the next and build it that way.
Dean Koontz
No one can tell you what your heart should feel.
Dean Koontz
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity. Without fear, there could be no humility, and every man would be a monster. 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
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
