Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.
Dean Koontz
Image
All human lives are so profoundly and intricately entwined-those dead, those living, those generations yet to come-that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.

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.

I have more self-doubt than any writer I've ever known.... The positive aspect of self-doubt - if you can channel it into useful activity instead of being paralyzed by it - is that by the time you reach the end of a novel, you know precisely why you made every decision in the narrative, the multiple purposes of every metaphor and image.

Image
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
Dean Koontz
Image
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.

There's still a fascination with somebody who can write at book length, no matter what the book is.

There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
Image
The human species was too fond of lying, cheating, envy, ignorance, self-pity, self-righteousness, and utopian visions that always led to mass murder-but until and if it destroyed itself, it harbored the potential to become nobler, to take responsibility for its actions, to live and let live, and to earn the stewardship of the earth.

What will happen will happen. There is time for miracles until there is no more time, but time has no end.
