Image
I am sustained by the certainty that life has meaning...as does death.
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.
Dean Koontz
Image
The retriever took each bit of meat from his master's hand with a delicacy almost equal to that of a hummingbird sipping sugar water from a garden feeder, and when it was all gone, he gazed up at Dusty with an adoration that could not have been much less than the love with which the angels regard God.
Dean Koontz
Image
Loving the ideal more than the reality is the cause of all the misery the human species creates for itself.

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?
Dean Koontz
Image
Death came, Death went, but Commerce flowed Eternal.
Dean Koontz
Image
we must seize life because we never know how much of it remains for us, that faith is the antidote to despair and that laughter is the music of faith.
Dean Koontz
Image
Pain is all I know. He murmured. Peace is all I want
Dean Koontz
Image
Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.
Dean Koontz
Image
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
Image
No degree of prosperity can be sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
Dean Koontz
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
Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing.
Dean Koontz
Image
I was looking forward to having a halo. It would make such a convenient reading lamp.
Dean Koontz
Image
What does worry accomplish except to breed more worry?
Dean Koontz
Image
You won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
Dean Koontz
Image
I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it.
