“No one can grant you happiness. Happiness is a choice we all have the power to make.”
― Dean Koontz, Life Expectancy

“Being alone can be good. It's easy to find peace alone. But sometimes, being alone is a king of death.”
― Dean Koontz, Chase

“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, One Door Away from Heaven

“I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.”
― Margaret Thatcher
