In this world only the paranoid survive.
Dean Koontz
Image
In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
Image
The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Image
In my books, I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it, it's at the extreme end of their experience.
Dean Koontz
Image
When social forces press for the rejection of age-old Truth, then those who reject it will seek meaning in their own truth. These truths will rarely be Truth at all they will be only collections of personal preferences and prejudices.

Somebody asked me about the current choice we're being given in the presidential election. I said, Well, it's like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.

Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.
Dean Koontz
Image
I see dead people. But, then by God, I do something about it!

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.

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy.
Dean Koontz
Image
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
Image
Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern truth, and could himself be more easily deceived.
Dean Koontz
Image
If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.
Dean Koontz
Image
A fine line separates the weary recluse from the fearful hermit. Finer still is the line between hermit and bitter misanthrope.
Dean Koontz
Image
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.

He once told me that an August evening was as hot as three toads in a Cuisinart, a comparison that left me blinking two days later.
