I always thought happiness was a choice and I always chose things that made me happy, and books were one of those.
Dean Koontz
Every eye sees its own special vision every ear hears a most different song. In each man's troubled heart, an incision would reveal a unique, shameful wrong.
Dean Koontz
Those who wish to punish the current and future generations for the inequities of a generation long gone, and who equate justice with revenge, are the most dangerous people in the world.
Dean Koontz
Every expression of desired friendship has potential bite. Every smile reveals the teeth.
Dean Koontz
You have to stop worrying about looking foolish, 'cause fear of being humiliated really limits you.
Dean Koontz
The word impossible contains the word possible' What's that-- some Zen thing?' I think Star Trek. Mr. Spock.

There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
All I ask of Fate is that the people she hurls into my life, whether they are evil or good, or morally bipolar, should be amusing to one degree or another.... The problem is finding smile-inducing evil people, because the evil are the most humorless, though in the movies they frequently get some of the best lines.

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz
Hunches [are] just messages from the subconscious, which [is] thinking furiously all the time and processing information we have not consciously noted.
Dean Koontz
Or maybe they were just doing it for fun. A lark. Their religion is tolerant of extreme forms of recreation. Boys will be boys, after all, and sociopathic boys will be sociopathic.
Dean Koontz
The human imagination may be the most elastic thing in the universe, stretching to encompass the millions of dreams that in centuries of relectless struggle built modern civilization, to entertain the endless doubts that hamper every human enterprise, and to conceive the vast menagerie of boogeymen that trouble every human heart.
Dean Koontz
Books showed me that there were other ways to live a life.
Dean Koontz
Hope, however, isn't all that's needed to achieve change. Hope is a hand extended, but two hands are required to be pulled out of this deep hole. The second hand was faith.
Dean Koontz
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.
Dean Koontz
Rub-a-dub-dub. Cerebrum in a tub.
Dean Koontz
The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
Dean Koontz
Thanks to the circus between my ears, I can seize upon the smallest disquieting observation and from it extrapolate a terror of cataclysmic proportions.
