Rodion Romanovich Quotes

“Are you one of those people who uses words more for the sound than for the sense of them?”

“You are reformed, you may be a better man, but you are not a different man. How can you convince yourself of such a thing when you are so conversant with the theology of your faith?

The man you were still lives within you, repressed by the man you have struggled to become.”

"Waste and void, waste and void. Darkness on the face of the deep," I said. "Then God commanded light. The light of the world descends from the Everlasting Light that is God."

"That is surely one thing it means," said Romanovich. "Bit it may also mean that the visible can be born from the invisible, That matter can arise from energy that thought is a form of energy and that thought itself can be concretized into the very object that is imagined.”
― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

“And because we have been given thought, will, and imagination, albeit on a human scale, we too have this power to create.”
― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd
