There's never any humongous next draft. I know a writer who every time he finished a novel - you would know his name very well - but his editor would come and live with him for a month. And they would go through the manuscript together.

People who go to work every day, make sacrifices to raise families, and get through life without hurting other people if they can help it-those are the real heros.
Dean Koontz
Image
From time to time, I do consider that I might be mad. Like any self-respecting lunatic, however, I am always quick to dismiss any doubts about my sanity.

Only the human spirit can act with volition and consciously change itself it is the only thing in all creation that is not entirely at the mercy of forces outside itself.
Dean Koontz
Image
All human lives are so profoundly and intricately entwined-those dead, those living, those generations yet to come-that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.

The only thing I know for sure is how much I do not know.

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.

Anger is a violent emotion, vindictive, and as dangerous to he who is driven by it as to anyone on whom it is turned.
Dean Koontz
Image
Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time.
Dean Koontz
Image
Not all or even most suffering is at the hands of fate it befalls us at our invitation.
Dean Koontz
Image
When we don't allow ourselves to hope, we don't allow ourselves to have purpose. Without purpose, without meaning, life is dark. We've no light within, and we're just living to die.
Dean Koontz
Image
In this world only the paranoid survive.
Dean Koontz
Image
Life without meaning cannot be borne. We find a mission to which we're sworn -or answer the call of Death's dark horn. Without a gleaning of purpose in life, we have no vision, we live in strife, -or let blood fall on a suicide knife.

Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
Dean Koontz
Image
Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.

Image
She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.
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.

But once an idea for a novel seizes a writer...well, it’s like an inner fire that at first warms you and makes you feel good but then begins to eat you alive, burn you up from within. You can’t just walk away from the fire it keeps burning. The only way to put it out is to write the book.

You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
