Quotes

Boo fell in at my side. He is the only ghost dog I have ever seen. Animals always move on. For some reason he had lingered more than a year at the abbey. Perhaps waiting for me. Dean Koontz
Dogs invite us not only to share their joy but also to live in the moment, where we are neither proceeding from nor moving toward, where the enchantment of the past and future cannot distract us, where a freedom from practical desire and a cessation of our usual ceaseless action allows us to recognize the truth of our existence, the reality of our world and purpose-if we dare. Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz quote: "I am no good alone. I need bonds, vows real if unspoken,..."
I am no good alone. I need bonds, vows real if unspoken, shared laughter, and people who depend on me as I depend on them. Dean Koontz
The why of the mind's existence and the how of its profound capacity to reason - especially its penchant for moral reasoning - will by their very nature remain as mysterious as whatever lies outside of time. Dean Koontz
All these girls swooning over hunky vampires, what they really want is to give away their freedom, to be controlled and told what to do and not have to think -- and never die, of course. It's sick is what it is. I don't want to be a forever-young living corpse. Dean Koontz
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. Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz quote: "Some lives, conducted with grace, are beautiful arcs bridging..."
Some lives, conducted with grace, are beautiful arcs bridging this world to eternity. Dean Koontz
When Mary Shelley took a local legend based on truth and crafted fiction from it, she'd made Victor a tragic figure and killed him off. He understood her dramatic purpose for giving him a death scene, but he loathed her for portraying him as tragic and a failure. Her judgement of his work was arrogant. What else of consequence did she ever write? And of the two, who was dead - and who was not? Dean Koontz
This time I would choose to err on the side of illogic. I had to trust intuition, and plunge as I had never plunged before, with blind faith. Dean Koontz
although we universally celebrate imagination, it is in fact a power that can uplift us and save us --- or as easily demean and destroy us. Mozart imagined great music. Hitler imagined death camps and built them. Dean Koontz
He said, if you allow yourself to be enchanted by the beauty to be seen in even ordinary things, then all things proved to be extraordinary. Dean Koontz
If she possessed any memory whatsoever of the days when she'd been whole, her shattered recollections were scattered across the darkscape of her mind in fragments so minuscule that she could no more easily piece them together than she could gather from the beach all the tiny chips of broken seashells, worn to polished flakes by ages of relentless tides, and reassemble them into their original architectures. Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz quote: "Darkness dwells within even the best of us. In the worst of..."
Darkness dwells within even the best of us. In the worst of us, darkness not only dwells but reins. Dean Koontz
Good fences make good neighbors, and these were apparently good enough that they had not felt the need for razor wire at the top. I crested the fence, threw myself into the yard beyond, fell, rolled to my feet, and ran with the expectation of being garroted by a taut clothesline. I heard panting, looked down, and saw a gold retriever running at my side, ears flapping. The dog glanced up at me tongue rolling, grinning, as though jazzed by the prospect of an unscheduled play session. Dean Koontz
Dean Koontz quote: "Maybe they traveled into darkness eternal without protest..."
Maybe they traveled into darkness eternal without protest because they lacked the imagination to envision anything else. Dean Koontz
