I fall down on the side of free will, simply because if you look at where I came from, and what I was able to do in my life, what was able to happen.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.
Dean Koontz
If we were always conscious of the fact that people precious to us are frighteningly mortal, hanging not even by a thread, but by a wisp of gossamer, perhaps we would be kinder to them and more grateful for the love and friendship they give to us.
Dean Koontz
Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
None of us can ever save himself we are the instruments of one another’s salvation, and only by the hope that we give to others do we lift ourselves out of the darkness into light.
Dean Koontz
She lived for others, her heart tuned to their anguish and their needs.
Dean Koontz
It was one of those rare times when remembering the dead was more inmportant than tending to the needs of the living.
Dean Koontz
In this age, lies were the universal lubricant of the culture. A love of Truth and commitment to it were seldom rewarded and were often punished.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
A fine line separates the weary recluse from the fearful hermit. Finer still is the line between hermit and bitter misanthrope.
Dean Koontz
Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
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.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes it seemed that the human heart, this side of Eden, feared life more than death, light more than darkness, freedom more than surrender.
Dean Koontz
All but universally, human architecture values front elevations over back entrances, public spaces over private. Danny Jessup says that this aspect of architecture is also a reflection of human nature, that most people care more about their appearance than they do about their souls.
Dean Koontz
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.
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
I have learned a great deal from novels. Some of it is even true.
Dean Koontz
Not funny ha ha, funny weird.
Dean Koontz
Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.
Dean Koontz
