More From Dean Koontz

I find i think of myself not as a writer so much as someone who provides a gateway, a tangential route for readers to reach the circus. to visit the circus again, if only in their minds, when they are unable to attend it physically. i relay it through printed words on crumpled newsprint, words that they can read again and again, returning to the circus whenever they wish, regardless of time of day or physical location. transporting them at will. when put that way, it sounds rather like magic, doesn't it? p.369

Suddenly to realise that one is sitting, damned, among the other damned--it is a most disquieting experience; so disquieting thatmost of us react to it by immediately plunging more deeply into our particular damnation in the hope, generally realized, that we may be able, at least for a time, to stifle our revolutionary knowledge.

At least, not in this country,' she added after a moment's thought. 'in china it's a little different. once i saw a chinaman in shanghai. his ears were so big he could use them for a raincoat. when it rained, he just crept in under his ears and was warm and snug as could be. not that the ears had such a rattling good time of it, you understand. if it was specially bad weather, he'd invite friends and acquaintances to pitch camp under his ears too. there they sat, singing their sorrowful songs while it poured down outside.

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.

For me, the game would be to assume a very intelligent reader who can extrapolate a lot from a little. and that's become my definition of art; to get that pitch just right, where i can put a hint on page three, and the reader's ears go up a bit, as opposed to dropping it all on the first page.

Seize every opportunity you have to learn. keep your eyes and ears wide open and seize life — don't let the moments slip through your fingers like a fistful of sand. be your own teacher. let life write your textbook.

The one spirit of life is given different names, the sacred names. we more easily recognize the spirit of life by the particular name to which we are accustomed. so far we are right, but the mistake we make, and it is to our loss, is to ignore or deny the same truth because it is given to us in another form and under another name. we limit it. we say the truth existed only in that period when certain teachers came to the world, and that after that it stopped.
