What sucks the worst is . . . this world was a gift to us, and we broke it, and part of the deal is that if we want things right, we have to fix it ourselves. But we can't. We try, but we can't.

The more you expect from life, the more your expectations will be fulfilled. By laughing, you do not use up your laughter, but increase your store of it. The more you love, the more you will be loved. The more you give, the more you will receive. Life proves that truth every hour, every day. And life continues to surprise.
Dean Koontz

Living in the modern age, death for virtue is the wage. So it seems in darker hours. Evil wins, kindness cowers. Ruled by violence and vice we all stand upon thin ice. Are we brave or are we mice, here upon such thin, thin ice? Dare we linger, dare we skate? Dare we laugh or celebrate, knowing we may strain the ice? Preserve the ice at any price?

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.

In our age, self-indulgence and self-destruction, rather than self-sacrifice, are the foundations for new heroic myths.

No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.

In this world only the paranoid survive.

Sometimes it seemed that the human heart, this side of Eden, feared life more than death, light more than darkness, freedom more than surrender.

A silent dark...as black as a moonless lake, as a ravine's wings, darkness there and nothing more, merely this and nothing more.

I don't find slashing and blood flying everywhere to be scary. I just find it repulsive.

I never have lunch because it makes me foggy-headed.

Some days I'm lucky to squeeze out a page of copy that pleases me, but I get as many as six or seven pages on a very good day the average is probably three pages.

There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.

What has been is no more. Change has come.

Every human being has appetites difficult to control but far fewer have humility, gentleness, and an awareness of their weaknesses.

I have been reading Stephen King since CARRIE and hope to read him for many years to come.

I do give books as gifts sometimes, when people would rather have one than a new Ferrari.
