Perseverance is impossible if we don't permit ourselves to hope.
Dean Koontz
Image
We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.
Dean Koontz
Image
The process, not the final achievement, is what it's all about.

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
You can't always win arguments as a writer, but you have to just go ahead and say, well, I'm doing it that way anyway.

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.

I am the One, and I see all. But the blind man in Apartment 1-A is blind in many ways, as are all human beings, even those with functioning eyes. They are blind to their folly, to their ignorance, to their history, to the future that they will make for themselves. A future born of self-loathing.

Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
Loneliness comes in two basic varieties. When it results from a desire for solitude, loneliness is a door we close against the world. When the world instead rejects us, loneliness is an open door, unused.
Dean Koontz
Image
Best thing that can happen to a man is a good woman.
Dean Koontz
Image
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
Dean Koontz
Image
Creating a family in this turbulent world is an act of faith, a wager that against all odds there will be a future, that love can last, that the heart can triumph against all adversities and even against the grinding wheel of time.
Dean Koontz
Image
Hope is the destination that we seek. Love is the road that leads to hope. Courage is the motor that drives us. We travel out of darkness into faith.
Dean Koontz
Image
I enjoy the hell out of writing but don't like what follows: promotion and publicity, which I always strive to keep to a minimum, sometimes to my publisher's dismay.

Image
One door away from heaven And the key is ours to lose. One door away from heaven But oh, the entry dues.

The hatred of truth is the taproot of violence.

As much as I've produced it looks to people like I must have written quickly, but it isn't that - because I put in in a sixty- or seventy-hour week.
