Quote by Dean Koontz (b. 1945)

• Creating a family in this turbulent world is an act of faith, a wager that against all odds there will be a future, that love can last, that the heart can triumph against all adversities and even against the grinding wheel of time.

• When life hands us a beutiful bouquet of flowers we stare at it in cautious expectation of a bee.

• Moments of extreme terror bring back the gestures of our youth.

• Although the constant shadow of certain death looms over everyday, the pleasures and joys of life can be so fine and affecting that the heart is nearly stilled in astonishment.

• I believe in the possibility of miracles but more to the point, I believe in our need for them.

• Savor the warmth of every sun-filled day, and the chill wind of every raging storm, weeds as much as flowers, the bitter and the sweet.
