Dean Koontz Mind Quotations

Funny, how one good cookie could calm the mind and even elevate a troubled soul.

...like a scene from the swamps of Louisiana or the mind of Poe on opium.

Your mind always does worse things than people can show in a movie.

Of all the things we can feel with our minds and bodies, severe pain is the purest, for it drives everything else from our awareness and focuses us as perfectly as we can ever be focused.

...I felt fear enter the halls of my mind, but I didn't give it the keys to every room.

Each book is a mind alive, a life revealed, a world awaiting exploration, but living people are all those things, as well—and more, because their stories haven’t yet been completely told.

One of the things I like enormously about Bob Weinstein is that that he's the only studio head I have ever known who will change his mind and say he was wrong.

A great deal of phenomenal experience has fostered in me a flexibility of the mind and imagination that some might call madness

Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always ready in the soul

Bunny slippers remind me of who I am. You can't get a swelled head if you wear bunny slippers. You can't lose your sense of perspective and start acting like a star or a rich lady if you keep on wearing bunny slippers. Besides, bunny slippers give me confidence because they're so jaunty. They make a statement; they say, 'Nothing the world does to me can ever get me so far down that I can't be silly and frivolous.' If I died and found myself in Hell, I could endure the place if I had bunny slippers.

Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text.

Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind.

Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.

Every life is complicated, every mind a kingdom of unmapped mysteries.
