Quotes by Dean Koontz that amuse me... or touch me.. you figure out which are which.Human beings can always be relied upon to exert, with vigor, their God-given right to be stupid. ~Dean Koontz "When we make our own misery we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable." ~Dean Koontz (One Door Away From Heaven) "Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy. " — Dean Koontz "Please, don't torture me with cliches. If you're going to try to intimidate me, have the courtesy to go away for a while, acquire a better education, improve your vocabulary, and come back with some fresh metaphors." — Dean Koontz “Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.” ~Dean Koontz “Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie. Sometimes black humor is the only kind we can summon, but even dark laughter can sustain.” ~Dean Koontz “One of the greatest sorrows of human exisence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.” ~Dean Koontz “Nothing gives us courage more readily than the desire to avoid looking like a damn fool.” ~Dean Koontz "Being a hard-drinking woman with numerous interests in addition to poker, Granny Sugars didn't always spend as much time spreading God's word as she promised Him she would. She beleived that God expected to be conned more often than not and that He would be a good sport about it." "You can con God and get away with it, Granny said, if you can do so with charm and wit. If you live your life with imagination and verve, God will play along just to see what outrageously entertaining thing you'll do next." "He'll also cut you some slack if you're astonishingly stupid in an amusing fashion. Granny claimed that this explains why uncountable millions of breathtakingly stupid people get along just fine in life." ~Dean Koontz (Odd Thomas) TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
