Innocence
Dean Koontz
Top 10 Best Quotes
“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.”
“Words are the wellspring of the world, and language is the most powerful weapon in the ancient and still unfolding war between truth and lies.”
“Love is absorbing, related to affection but stronger, full of appreciation for—and delight in—the other person, marked by a desire always to please and benefit her or him, always to smooth the loved one’s way through the roughness of the days and to do everything possible to make her or him feel profoundly valued.”
“Everyone talks about justice, but there can be no justice where there is no truth, and these are times when truth is seldom recognized and often despised.”
“There is no end of wonders and mysteries: fireflies and music boxes, the stars that outnumber all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world, pinhead eggs that become caterpillars that dissolve into genetic soup from which arise butterflies, that some hearts are dark and others full of light.”
“Perhaps you have always known everything important but will need a lifetime to discover what you know.”
“Doubt is poison. It leads to a loss of faith in yourself, and in all that’s good and true.”
“The only thing that survives is love, for it is an energy as enduring as light, which travels outward from its source toward the ever-expanding boundaries”
“We hold each other hostage to our eccentricities.” I smiled again, an unseen smile. “We’re made for each other.”
“To live in the city of crowds and traffic and constant noise, to be always striving, to be in the ceaseless competition for money and status and power, perhaps distracted the mind until it could no longer see—and forgot—the all that is. Or maybe, because of the pace and pressure of that life, sanity depended on blinding oneself to the manifold miracles, astonishments, wonders, and enigmas that comprised the true world.”
