“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.”
― Dean Koontz, Innocence

“When men in power decide that things need to be rebalanced at any cost, the violence is never brief and never really directed solely at the imbalance that supposedly inspired it. The rule of law becomes the rule of violence. Revenge becomes a synonym for justice. No city is safe from such horror, no nation, no time in all of history. Be ready to recognize the moment. Be always ready.”
― Dean Koontz, Innocence

“A city is half beast and half machine, with arteries of fresh water and veins of foul, nerves of telephone and electrical cables, sewer lines for bowels, pipes full of pressurized steam and others carrying gas, valves and fans and filters and meters and motors and transformers and tens of thousands of interlinked computers, and though its people sleep, the city never does.”

“The fallow soil of loneliness is fertile ground for self-deception.”
