No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.

~ Dean Koontz

When we make our own misery we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.

~ Dean Koontz

Change isn't easy. Changing the way you live means changing the way you think, means changing what you believe about life. That's hard.

~ Dean Koontz

Fate isn’t one straight road…there are forks in it, many different routes to different ends. We have the free will to choose the path.
