To a predator, fear indicates weakness.
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
Every talent is unearned, however, and with it comes a solemn obligation to use it as fully and as wisely as possible.

Image
Rub-a-dub-dub. Cerebrum in a tub.

What really holds their marriage together are mutual respect of an awesome depth, a shared sense of humor, faith that they were brought together by a force greater than themselves, and a love so unwavering and pure that it is sacred.

Image
I think it's perfectly just to refuse service to anyone based on behavior, but not based on race or religion.

Image
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.

All these girls swooning over hunky vampires, what they really want is to give away their freedom, to be controlled and told what to do and not have to think -- and never die, of course. It's sick is what it is. I don't want to be a forever-young living corpse.

Image
I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.
Dean Koontz
Image
If I waited until I felt creative, I would never have had a career. I long ago learned that a day that starts out badly, when nothing comes out on the page or comes out wrong, can suddenly turn into a good day a few hours later, when suddenly everything starts to click. The brain can be cajoled into being creative.

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.

Image
In my personal life, I'm a comic novel. But then, so are we all, because we're human beings.
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
Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement.
Dean Koontz
Image
When we hope, we usually hope for the wrong thing.
Dean Koontz
Image
One man's idea of perfect order is another man's chaos.
Dean Koontz
Image
Each book is a mind alive, a life revealed, a world awaiting exploration, but living people are all those things, as well—and more, because their stories haven’t yet been completely told.

We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.
