More quotes by Dean Koontz
She'd been acutely aware that terror, betrayal, and cruelty had a human face, but she had not sufficiently appreciated that courage, kindness, and love had a human face as well.
Dean Koontz
mankind has no right to employ its genius in the creation of another intelligent species, then treat it like property. If we've come so far that we can create as God creates, then we have to learn to act with the justice and mercy of God.
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
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
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
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
Intuition is seeing with the soul.
Dean Koontz
How passionately we love everything that cannot last: the dazzling crystallory of winter, the spring in bloom, the fragile flight of butterflies, crimson sunsets, a kiss, and life.
Dean Koontz
The opportunity to love a dog and to treat it with kindness is an opportunity for a lost and selfish heart to be redeemed. They are powerless and innocent, and it is how we treat the humblest among us that surely determines the fate of our souls
Dean Koontz
Although the constant shadow of certain death looms over everyday, the pleasures and joys of life can be so fine and affecting that the heart is nearly stilled in astonishment.
Dean Koontz
Most universities are no longer temples of knowledge, but of power, and true moderns worship there.
Dean Koontz
Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.
Dean Koontz
Is rule of thumb in writing game: if story requires many long descriptions of smells so vile that will give reader nausea, is not likely to find publisher.
Dean Koontz
... one of those librarians who rules the stacks with an intimidating scowl, whispers quiet sharply enough to lacerate the tender inner tissues of the ear, and will pursue an overdue-book fine with the ferocity of a rabid ferret.
Dean Koontz
It will all be better in the end and if it is not better then it must not be the end yet
Dean Koontz
What does worry accomplish except to breed more worry?
Dean Koontz
I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.
Dean Koontz
In each little life, we can see great truth and beauty, and in each little life we glimpse the way of all things in the universe. If we alow ourselves to be enchanted by the beauty of the ordinary, we begin to see that all things extraordinary.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing.
Dean Koontz
In our age, self-indulgence and self-destruction, rather than self-sacrifice, are the foundations for new heroic myths.
