"Is it so strange that someone can have two lives? No, I honestly believe most people do. Most, of course, play the public role expected of them: they marry, work, have children, establish a home, vote, try to keep clean and reasonably law-abiding. But each-man, woman, and child-has a secret life of which they rarely speak and hardly ever display. And this secret life, for each of us, is filled with ferocious fantasies and incredible wants and suffocating lusts. Not shameful in themselves, except as we have been taught so."
"I remember reading something a man wrote-he was a famous author-and he said if it was definitely announced that the world would end in one hour, there would be long lines before each phone booth, with people waiting to call other people to tell them how much they loved them. I do not believe that, I believe most of us would spend the last hour mourning, 'Why didn't I do what I wanted to do?'"
"Because I believe each of us is a secret island ('No man is an island'? What shit!) and even the deepest, most intense love cannot bridge the gap between individuals. Much of what we feel and dream, that we cannot speak of to others, is shameful, judged by what society says we are allowed to feel and dream. But if humans are capable of it, how can it be shameful? Rather do as our natures dictate. It may lead to heaven or it may lead to hell-what does 'heaven' mean or 'hell'?-but the most terrible sin is to deny. That is inhuman."
-From "The First Deadly Sin" by Lawrence Sanders

"...The mind may reason, but the body will have its own. Who can master his appetites? The blood boils, and all is lost."
-From "The Third Deadly Sin" by Lawrence Sanders

"If God is an author and the universe is the biggest novel ever written, I may feel as if I'm the lead character in the story, but like every man and woman on Earth, I am a supporting player in one of billions of subplots. You know what happens to supporting players. Too often they are killed off in chapter three or in chapter ten, or in chapter thirty-five. A supporting player always has to be looking over his shoulder."
-From "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz
"Insanity is not evil, but all evil is insane. Evil itself is never funny, but insanity sometimes can be. We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish it's influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people."
-From "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz
"This encouraged me to raffirm my resolve never to take a world full of pestilence, violence and happenstance seriously. I would continue to drink every drink and grab every bit of pleasure as it were the last. However, the certitude left me feeling like the woman of song, Rose of Washington Square, who had no future but oh what a past."
-From "Lawrence Sanders McNally's Folly" by Vincent Lardo
"...There's something about physical battle that energizes and liberates, infusing the body with an ancient chemistry-a cheap high with a sometimes deadly effect..."
-From "'F' Is For Fugitive" by Sue Grafton
"All flesh is grass, and withers, and the fields of the mind, too, are burned black by death and do not grow green again."
-From "Frankenstein, Prodigal Son" by Dean Koontz
"Loneliness comes in two basic varieties. When it results from a desire for solitude, loneliness is a door we close against the world. When the world instead rejects us, loneliness is an open door, unused."
-From "Forever Odd" by Dean Koontz
"When we hope, we usually hope for the wrong thing.
We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was the progress in it?
Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances."
-From "Brother Odd" by Dean Koontz
