Dean Koontz Quotes

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

Life without hope is no life.

People are hungry for messages of hope and life.

If falling into desperation worked to make things better, then I would say, 'Let's all jump into despair.' But it doesn't help. The only way to truly find meaning and fulfillment is to look at the disaster, the pain, the difficulty, and know with complete certainty that good can come from this.

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter.

I am an optimist. I think, as bad as life sometimes gets, there is so much joy and so much good stuff, that there is a balance.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

In this life, I'm always going to choose the positive.

I'm a positive person, and I try to look at the good side of everything.

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

I suppose there are a lot of reasons to be jaded or sarcastic or bitter in life, but I hang on to the reasons why life is beautiful.

I love life too much to be bitter.

I tend to say faith is believing in life, and as I love life, I try to do the best with it, make it as serene and joyous as possible.

I am a positive person. I am not cynical. If you are born in this world, no matter who you are, negative things will happen. If you aren't positive as a person, you'll be very unhappy. It's extremely important to be positive, to laugh, to be happy, to accept life as it comes.

Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.

I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution.

To me, life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it.

I treasure laughs more than anything; they've helped me in life the most.

I try to think about optimism. I try to look at the beautiful things in life.

You've got to laugh at life, you can't take it all too seriously.
