Life is a train ride, and at the many stations along the route, people important to us debark, never to get aboard again, until by the end of the journey, we sit in a passenger car where most of the seats are empty.

More From Dean Koontz

Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes, traveling the train through clear moroccan skies. ducks and pigs and chickens call, animal carpet wall to wall, american ladies five-foot tall in blue. sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind, had to get away to see what we could find. hope the days that lie ahead, bring us back to where they've led, listen not to what's been said to you. wouldn't you know we're riding on the marrakesh express? wouldn't you know we're riding on the marrakesh express, they're taking me to marrakesh. all aboard the train, all aboard the train...
Wall Lying Sunset
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
Hurt Morning Wall
It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. except in this case i was all the parts: i was the lover on the platform, i was the lover on the train. and i was also the train.
Giving Up Lovers Classic
The world is like a ride in an amusement park. and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. and the ride goes up and down and round and round. it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "is this real, or is this just a ride?" and other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." and we kill those people.
Life Fun Powerful
In climbing, being first-rate is part of the whole enterprise. the important climbers want to be the first man up the mountain, the one who put up the first route. you're usually only remembered if you put up the first route on a very important climb. the route might even be named after you. that's a kind of glory.
Men Important Mountain
Artists should re-emphasize performance and de-emphasize recording. you always make more money if you have a healthy performing life than you will if you have even a moderately healthy recording life. don't make recording the most important thing you do. make performing the most important thing you do, and then you can make recordings and sell them at your shows, because record labels aren't going to be around to help you get on the radio stations, and the radio stations probably aren't going to play you anyway.

Similar Quotes
I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let's face it, at the end of the day, i'm not that smart of a guy.

No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone.
Art Artist Individual Talent
He is not simply looking into the mirror because he is transfixed by what he sees. rather, the artist’s success depends as much as anything on his powers of detachment, on de-narcissizing himself… freud… studied his own dreams not because he was a “narcissist,” but because he was a student of dreams. and whose were at once the least and most accessible of dreams, if not his own?
