Dean Koontz Quotes

I build a book the way coral reefs are built: millions of little calcareous skeletons piling up one atop another, though in my case the skeletons are drafts Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Blood has an oder faint but distinct, of conceit and modesty, of courage and cowardice, of charity and greed, of faith and doubt, in short the fragrance of what we might have been and the smell of what we are Picture Quote #1

She’d been acutely aware that terror, betrayal, and cruelty had a human face, but she had not sufficiently appreciated that courage, kindness, and love had a human face as well Picture Quote #1

Life had been hard on this girl, Jacob, but she had enough courage for an army Picture Quote #1

My life has a mysterious purpose that I don’t understand, and day by day, conflict by conflict, I learn by going where I have to go Picture Quote #1

Perhaps this was a day of firsts. The day one dies, of course, is a first in any life Picture Quote #1

I’m alive but I have no life. I’m alive but also dead. I’m dead and alive Picture Quote #1

Being alone can be good. It’s easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death Picture Quote #1

But the more people we love and the more deeply we love them, the more vulnerable we are to loss and grief and loneliness Picture Quote #1

Her stare was direct and unwavering, full of confidence earned from painful experience Picture Quote #1

There’s evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid Picture Quote #1

I think the world is full of evil people. I think in some ways we’re in more danger now than before Picture Quote #1

Every eye sees its own special vision; every ear hears a most different song. In each man’s troubled heart, an incision would reveal a unique, shameful wrong Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Doubt is poison. It leads to a loss of faith in yourself, and in all that’s good and true Picture Quote #1

Darkness doesn’t fall at a predictable schedule. Darkness can overwhelm you any time of the day, as you know well Picture Quote #1

Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity Picture Quote #1

The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption Picture Quote #1

I think the world is an interesting place and I don’t think anybody has the firm and final answer to what it is but I kind of assume there’s a purpose Picture Quote #1

Home is the first refuge from - and last defense against - the disappointments and the terrors of life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You know what’s wrong with humanity?... The greatest gift we were given is our free will, and we keep misusing it Picture Quote #1

These days, people spent too much time striving to understand their feelings - and then ended up with none that were genuine Picture Quote #1

I stood there, inexpressibly grateful that my life, for all its terrors, is so filled with moments of grace Picture Quote #1

The greatest danger, of course, was to believe that I was equal to them, because assurance can morph into arrogance that Death loves to prove unfounded Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others Picture Quote #1

I never plan for the future but wander into it with a smile on my face, hope in my heart, and the hair up on the nape of my neck Picture Quote #1

I always thought happiness was a choice and I always chose things that made me happy, and books were one of those Picture Quote #1
