Koontz Clips: words that remind me the road is long and hard, but possible.

"Pain can be endured and defeated only if it is embraced. Denied or feared, it grows in perception if not in reality...
....Pain is a gift. Humanity without pain, would know neither fear nor pity. Without fear, there could be no humility, and everyman would be a monster. The recognition of pain and fear in others gives rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption." - Dean Koontz


"Sometimes the heart makes decisions the mind cannot, and although we know that the heart is deceitful above all things, we also know that at rare moments of stress and profound loss it can be purged pure by suffering." - Dean Koontz
